Called 'Embrace", the watch detects different kinds of stress:
"Temperature sensors detect a spike in body heat, gyroscopes and accelerometers detect movement (smartphones have these, too), and much of the magic derives from tech that can detect electric changes across the skin — a feature that changes when a person is anxious, or depressed, or about to undergo a seizure. It buzzes to warn the wearer when an epileptic episode is on the way.

It will be interesting to see how this fares in the real world.
