The original idea the Moodbeam wristband came a worried mother. She wanted to know how her daughter was feeling when she wasn't her. The company website says: "Moodbeam is built the unfortunate truth that whilst how we feel is so important to our wellbeing, it's hard to capture, tough to talk and often invisible....Moodbeam was created the ambition to transform the way the world sees mood, making it easier to understand and talk how we feel." It added the device: "Allows better understanding of how we feel, creates more meaningful conversations with those we care and helps us lead happier lives."
