Fitbit has unveiled what it says is its “most advanced health and fitness tracker” yet, which includes sensors to monitor and help manage stress and the body’s readiness for a workout.

The firm’s new Charge 5 tracker is Fitbit’s first wearable device outside of its smartwatches to include an EDA sensor, which measures the body’s response to stress through tiny changes in the sweat glands of the fingers. The tracker will also create a stress management score in the Fitbit for users to follow.
