Stress Monitoring

[TheMoonbeam]

Something I've noticed after using the Microsoft Band for a while is that there doesn't appear to be a way to display the stress monitoring information in the app or on the band itself. The band has "a galvanic skin response sensor to measure stress". So why isn't there any information on how to actually use this? Or am I just missing something?

Haven't found anything on that either...
The sensor seems to be there, maybe it will come with an update of the Health app?

I think the metal bezels around the HR monitor and Charging Port detects your stress level but I also don't have any idea on how to see it...

I'd like to know, too.

From what I understand, taken from a comment Daniel Rubino made, the sensor is there but it isn't being used yet. Hopefully that will come in a future update. Sorry if I misquoted you Daniel,

Thanks for posting this - have been wondering the same but haven't gotten around to posting the question. Thanks for letting me outsource the heavy lifting to you ;-)

I was hoping this sensor would be used in helping to calculate calories burned. When I was researching fitness bands a few months ago, one of the ones with HRM had this, and it mentioned it was used to help calculate calories burned in exercise such as weight lifting, etc.
