'Olive' is a wearable mental health tracker that resembles a fitness band, measuring your body's mental health as opposed to physical health.
Olive is worn around the wrist and measure your body's stress-related biometrics, which include: heart rate, reactions to the skin's surface, skin temperature, sleep habits, physical activity and exposure to sunlight. The band then communicates the information to your smartphone, taking into account your calendar and schedule.
Olive aims to help people manage their stress through creating an intelligent bracelet, equipped with sensors that relays information in a more tangible, approachable manner. Designed to be "discrete and out of the way until it's needed," this wearable mental health tracker nudges you when your stress levels are raised and then offers you guidance.
