Bracelet for emotional control

The Dutch company Philips, together with ABN AMRO Bank, developed a device specifically for online traders. Sitting at their computer, these people in one minute can earn or lose huge money, and the effectiveness of a trader’s work depends heavily on the emotional state. If, due to some fluctuations of the market, a trader experiences strong emotions (whether it is anger from lost money or, on the contrary, euphoria), then write off. That is why it is so important to control emotions and immediately stop trading in case of loss of balance. Unfortunately, a person is usually not able to do this on his own.



The Rationalizer device will come to the rescue. It consists of two parts. EmoBracelet bracelet is attached to the wrist, monitors the pulse and the electrical resistance of the skin.

Information is transmitted to a separate monitor in the form of a bowl (EmoBowl). As soon as emotions begin to appear, the bowl changes color and glows brighter (see video). It is advisable to put it in plain sight next to the monitor (in the case of self-control), in the office of the head or in the office in plain sight. In the latter case, the control is most effective: comrades will have time to drag you away from the computer before you lose the remaining money.

The Rationalizer concept was developed by the designers of Dialogues Incubator , a joint startup of Philips and ABN AMRO Bank, launched to develop new ideas.

In fact, gadgets for emotional control are not new. For similar purposes, you can use the emWave Personal Stress Reliever handheld scanner, the SensDevice mouse and the Japanese Cocoro Meter icicle (it measures the level of the amylase enzyme in saliva).
