Stress Check: The App

Now I know I've done an entry like this before, with the Take a Chill app, but whenever I come across an new app that interest me, I always think its fun to explore them. So, this week, I checked out the app Stress Check, which does exactly as the name says. By monitoring your heart rate it estimate your stress level. The super cool part though, is that the app uses your phone camera to measure this! You just put your finger on your camera and it measures your heart rate! So cool! And, while its detecting your heart rate it even shares helpful stress facts. Bonus! Finally, after about two minutes, it uses your heart rate to calculate your stress level. You can then save this information and use the app to track your progress over time (if you use the app frequently). Overall, I thought that the app was very easy, provided a great resource for managing stress, and, best of all, it was FREE! So give it a try, you have nothing to lose!
