Pen designed to measure and reduce stress

Stress is definitely something that we’d all love to have less of, and now researchers out there have come up with a pen that not only measures stress levels, but is capable of helping you lower your heart rate too. The pen features built-in electronics and electromagnets to detect faster, jerkier movements that are commonly associated with stress and will gradually become more difficult to move around, encouraging users to slow their movements down, at which point the pen will be easy to use again. Of course, considering that the pen itself looks rather thick and hard to use, we can easily imagine that it could probably be stressful to use, but who are we to argue with researchers?
