"Smart" pillow, or measuring stress on the fifth point
Now on the market there are many fitness trackers that can monitor the pulse, monitor the temperature and the level of oxygen saturation of the blood, consider the steps. Typically, these gadgets fit snugly to the body: if we talk about heart rate monitors, they are worn on the wrist, or the sensor is attached to the chest. The “smart” Darma pillow is also needed by those who care about themselves. She does not measure steps, but she is able to report that you are too tense - and it’s time to relax.
Millimeter sensors that capture the slightest body movements are built into the pillow. The gadget collects data about the pulse, breathing, your landing. And sends them to your smartphone running iOS using Bluetooth 4.0.

Why is all this necessary?
Many people sit in place for a very long time every day, which adversely affects their health. Moreover, many do not follow the bearing either. Problems with the spine begin, the neck and shoulders ache, and headaches begin.
Familiar? With this and should handle the pillow.
Based on the collected data about your pulse, breathing, movements and posture, the application will determine the overall level of stress, as well as make recommendations. For example, you sit too long - a pillow will tell you to stand up and warm up. Like the Jawbone UP24 , for example. Slouch? The application will offer to sit up straight and remove your hand from the face . If the application is sure that you are too tense due to stress, then it will offer you to relax and meditate for a minute. Of course, all the data in the form of graphs you can view in your iPhone.
While the development is still at an early stage, but by June the pillow will be brought out to Kickstarter, and next year they plan to launch sales. While the application is only for iOS, and the version for Android will be made later.
Regarding the battery: they promise that it will need to be charged about once a month.

It is planned that pre-order for Kickstarter will cost $ 149, and the retail price will be $ 249.
