Latest S-Health update now can check your stress level using the heart rate monitor.... I thought it was pretty cool to share

When you open s Health, hit the menu button in the top left Corner (you'll see the words s Health) right next to it. Once you open that menu, you'll see stress half way down the list.

^^What he said

I wonder what it's measuring to determine your stress level? Just your heartbeat? My resting heartbeat is mid 50s. My husband's is 90 So if mine were, say, 80 because of exertion, would that indicate (on the S5) stress? Exertion doesn't necessarily mean you're stressed.

I'm definitely not stressed and it has me in the yellow. I wonder what it knows that I don't know yet haha! I don't know how it works, but I'm not sure it's 100% accurate.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't done anything with the S Health app but decided to play around with it after reading this. I'll have to read how they measure stress levels.

My phone would blow up if it tried to measure my stress level after a phone call to Samsung technical support!
I think they cap the required educational level at 5th grade

Not accurate. I am borderline homicidal at work and it's showing low stress for me lol.
