The Dina Re:lax app is an unusual stress management tool that measures your pulse through selfies. The app was released by insurance company Dina Försäkringar in response to recent survey results that showed about 19% of Swedish people do not find themselves to be relaxed, even after coming back from a vacation.
With Dina Re:lax, users can snap a picture of themselves and the app will keep track of a user's pulse over time. As well as putting a number to your stress level, the photos are also a handy way to recall a particular day or situation that you may have found stressful, or take notice of stress that has actually gone unnoticed. When finished, the photos can be saved and shared as gifs.
