A pen that can detect short term stress in its user and further alleviate some of the stress has been designed by Industrial Design PhD student Miguel Bruns Alonso from the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology. This pen also helps in reducing the heart rate of the user. During the study it was observed that when tensed people tend to play with their pens, therefore this ‘anti-stress pen’ detects when the user fidgets with it and stops him from doing so. Faster, jerkier movements associated with stress are detected by the motion sensors in the pen. At this point the internal electromagnets create counterweight effects which make the pen difficult to move, thus encouraging the user to slow down the movements.
