Galvanic Skin Response

All tissues in the human body, including skin, have the ability to conduct electricity. Indeed, this is how nerves function to relay information from one part of the body to another. The skin also has electrical activity, which is in constant, slight variation, and can be measured and charted. The skin's electrical conductivity fluctuates based on certain bodily conditions, and this fluctuation is called the galvanic skin response.

Sudden changes in emotion, such as fright, can trigger this response, as can other types of changes, such as the hot flashes that are characteristic of menopause. The galvanic skin response can be graphed on a chart for observation, in the same way that heart or brain activity is recorded. Even though this is the case, it is impossible to detect the type of emotion or physical change that elicited the reaction by simply looking at the graph.

Experimental evidence suggests that certain groups of individuals have signature patterns of electrodermal baseline activity. Everyone has an individual baseline, but some people tend to have skin conductance signals that vary relatively little when they are at rest and not being stimulated by either external events or internal thoughts.Our objective is how to correlate an individual’s skin conductance, heart rate and body temperature to determine one’s well-being.

Geo Tagging Apps have been around for quite some time. And for the most part it is intended to be for social platform. We are integrating this technology to assist a person gain a better lifestyle by understanding and ultimately creating suggestions to provide alternative behavior.

Say Mary frequents the local Wendy’s store, our integrated app would be able to suggest that Wendy’s have nutritious options on their menu, or if Mary is waiting for the bus to travel 500 meters to home, it can be suggested that she walk that distance once a week, better for her health and pockets too.

More objects are becoming embedded with sensors and gaining the ability to communicate. The resulting information networks promise to create new business models, improve business processes, and reduce costs and risks. Together with Wearable Technologies Limited, we are developing Home-Health Monitoring Devices where it does not only record individually but correlates all results and interpreted for you.
