IoT for Emotional Support: Smart Objects That Care
π 1. What Is It?
Everyday objects — toys, pillows, lamps — embedded with sensors and AI that detect emotional states and respond with comfort.
πΆ 2. Examples in Use
-
A teddy bear that senses anxiety in kids and plays calming sounds
-
A bedside lamp that glows warmer if you seem lonely or stressed
-
Smart cushions that vibrate gently to guide deep breathing
π§ 3. How It Works
Wearables (like a ring or watch) detect heart rate, tone of voice, or sleep patterns → Connected comfort objects respond in real time.
π§ 4. Who It Helps
-
Kids, especially with autism or anxiety
-
Seniors living alone
-
Adults needing gentle mental health support without screens
IoT for emotional support turns tech into a gentle, invisible friend.
