LightBeads soft prevention device for Philips Design & Philips Research - When touched, each bead measures skin conductance and reflects the stress-level in the amount of lighting up. The beads fade out, leaving a green afterglow in the material. The person moves along the chain as a hand-toy until reaching a relaxed state, where the beads do not light up anymore, thereby creating a relaxing and enchanting ritual. The underlying philosophy is to create a new perspective on the field of prevention.
