Mike Dannheim - Sensie: Muscle Testing (#65)

The human body is an ongoing expression of its well-being or it’s lack of. This can be seen in everything, from how you move to how you speak, people around you normally pick up on it, while you may be unaware yourself. Sensie, with the use of your phone and the sensors will pick up on the overall harmony or disharmony of your movements and provide a signal. Sensie detects a neuromuscular signal that represents the stress response from the body. By applying research from the fields of neuroscience and psychophysiology with machine learning techniques and the sensors on your smartphone, Sensie is able to measure the fluidity of your movement - sensing whether stress is present or not and guiding your through a specific mindfulness technique to help you achieve peace and calm. Mike is a co-founder at Sensie app, a mobile platform that uses sensors on a smartphone to detect stress and emotions. We help a user learn their emotions, identify the cause of stress and reduce it on demand.
