Monitoring employees

I just read an article about a Microsoft patent to monitor employees in different ways, like heartbeat, galvanic skin response, EMG, brain signals, respiration rate, body temperature, movement facial movements, facial expressions and blood pressure. This would allow superiors to determine how effective employees work.

I can imagine a demo of such a system:
Let me show you our system in action. Here we see Joes heartbeat go up, hmm, how come, oh, the system also notices that Jane just passed by his desk, and the system noticed that this has happened before. This is useful information, because we now know that we never should put Joe and Jane on the same project. And maybe move one of them to another department.
