SWIP: On-Device AI for Real-Time Emotional Awareness
Synheart, a Canadian startup focused on emotion-aware artificial intelligence, introduced SWIP — a privacy-first, on-device system that tracks how digital interactions influence users’ emotional well-being in real time.
How SWIP Translates Physiology Into Emotion
Researchers have long known that the human heart reflects emotional states: small shifts in heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) can signal calmness, stress, excitement, or fatigue. Until recently, such data was mostly limited to fitness tools. SWIP reshapes this concept by turning these physiological signals into instant emotional insights.
Privacy-First Processing
SWIP uses Synheart’s adaptive emotion-recognition engine to interpret HR and HRV data from wearables directly on the user’s device. By avoiding cloud processing, the system keeps sensitive biometric information private while still enabling rapid emotional feedback.
More Responsive Digital Interactions
This approach enables applications to adjust in milliseconds—whether a user feels overwhelmed, focused, or relaxed—creating more emotionally aligned digital experiences.
“Digital apps should align with users’ emotions, not work against them,” said Israel Goytom, Synheart’s Co-founder and CTO.
Summary
SWIP introduces secure, real-time emotion detection on personal devices, helping apps adapt to users’ changing emotional states.
Author’s summary: SWIP offers a privacy-centric way for apps to react to users’ emotional shifts, translating heart signals into insights that make digital experiences more human-attuned.
