Olive tracks physical indicators such as changes in heart rate, reactions in skin, and trends in skin temperature, as well as physical activity, sleep and exposure to light to understand lifestyle through consumer calendar, location and other available data. All of this information is meticulously stitched together with proprietary algorithms to give a more complete picture of stress levels that person who wears the device experience in certain situations throughout the day.
