When tech comes to the bedside of mental health

Among the start-ups present in this niche at the consumer tech show (CES), which took place in recent days in Las Vegas (Nevada, United States), is the Swiss Nutrix. The young company has launched cortiSense, a sensor capable of measuring the level of cortisol, often called stress hormone. A small cylindrical object ending in a tab makes it possible to collect saliva, without spit and without a tube, which is directly analyzed by the instrument. After a few minutes, the results can be viewed via a mobile application.
