Example Sentences
Recent Examples on the Web The Sense 2 stands atop the Fitbit family, packing ECG sensors for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) detection, EDA (electrodermal activity) for stress measurement, GPS, blood oxygen, and heart rate tracking. 
Corey Gaskin, Ars Technica, 24 Aug. 2022 For instance, the Reflect Orb measures two physiological signs of stress — heart rate variability, which is the length of the pauses between different heartbeats, and electrodermal activity from the sweat glands on your fingers. Washington Post, 26 Jan. 2022 The study participants were given an E4 wristband, made by the company Empatica, which records information on a wearer’s heart rate, skin temperature, movement, and electrodermal activity — a measure of electrical activity on the skin. Maddie Bender, STAT, 1 Oct. 2021 There’s also an electrodermal (EDA) sensor for stress and an ECG app to improve heart monitoring. Chris Smith, BGR, 25 Aug. 2021 The electrodermal activity sensor (EDA) measures stress levels through changes in sweat and the electrocardiogram (ECG) will monitor your heart rate. Janhoi Mcgregor, Forbes, 21 June 2021 This collection is paired with new Fitbit technology that detects electrodermal activity (EDA) responses–tiny electrical changes on your skin that can indicate a stress response. Susanna Schrobsdorff, Time, 15 June 2021 The sector already utilizes physiological signals such as eye-tracking (to index attention) and electrodermal activity (to measure physiological arousal). Washington Post, 16 Dec. 2020 The electrodermal sensor, which requires the user to place their palm on the watchface for a reading, likewise can be tracked over time to measure stress levels.
