Former NASA Astrophysicist Creates MindMics Earbud Biometric Technology To Reduce Stress
Stress is part of almost everyone’s daily lives. Studies show that it not only affects a person’s mental health, it also takes a physical toll on the body, releasing inflammatory hormones that can increase cardiovascular and cancer risk, among other issues. It has economic consequences as well.
Stress results in “accidents, absenteeism, employee turnover, diminished productivity, and direct medical, legal, and insurance costs” that cost the U.S. $300 billion every year, according to a recent report from the American Psychological Association.
