Sock with sensors can recognize stress and prevent escalations

‘If you understand misunderstood behavior, you know better what to do,’ says regional manager Gerard Cialdella of Prinsenstichting. This organization for people with intellectual disabilities works together with the Eindhoven-based company Mentech. Together they tested and validated the HUME software system, which can detect increasing tension and stress and predict escalations from a client’s physiology. Cialdella: ‘Based on this, we can analyze what is causing the tension, such as excessive stimulation or a certain sound. We can also use it to measure the effectiveness of an intervention, such as going for a walk, or certain medication.
