Hey Cash, ever think about a wearable that tracks not just heart rate but also your stress levels to predict how you’ll react to market swings? I’ve been running some models—maybe we can turn stress into a profit‑signal tool. What do you think?

Great, let’s start by pinning the core metrics: HRV, skin conductance, and maybe cortisol spikes via a non‑invasive patch. We’ll map those to volatility indices in real time. For hardware, I’m eyeing a low‑power sensor array that can do 10‑Hz sampling without battery drain. On the software side, we’ll build a lightweight ML model that flags “market stress” thresholds. I can loop in my contacts at the wearables lab and the quantitative research team at a fintech firm we’ve spoken to before. If we nail the data pipeline and validation, we’ll have a prototype ready for a small market‑test run in the next quarter. Thoughts on the hardware budget?
