The report said the device would come equipped with a microphone to listen into a user’s voice and detect their emotional state.  It is not clear how far along the project is or if it would ever become a commercial product.

The wrist-worn gadget is described as a health and wellness product indicating another big leap by a major tech company into health. Amazon has previously indicated its interest in the health sector with its $753 million deal to buy the online pharmacy PillPack.

Amazon declined to comment on the report.
