This is the future of your mental healthcare, as imagined by Sentio Solutions, a San Francisco-based tech company:

You will wear a sensory wristband that tracks your sweat, skin temperature and blood flow. Something—a chewing out from your boss, a reminder of a traumatic experience, an anxiety attack—increases your pulse rate and activates your sweat glands. The wristband signals to an app on your phone and a notification asks you to choose your feelings from a menu of words, like “distressed,” “sad,” and “content.” Your phone then tasks you with a breathing or journaling exercise. Maybe it recommends an online article on coping strategies.
