Design of a smart portable and wearable stress level detection and monitoring system

Abstract

Stress is a common experience that can have a significant impact on our physical and mental health. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, obesity, and depression. Stress is a serious issue in today's culture and can negatively affect both physical and mental health, especially for those who live in remote locations where access to mental health care may be limited. However, current stress monitoring technologies frequently lack mobility, real-time monitoring capabilities, and extensive physiological data gathering. In addition, many people, particularly those from rural regions, do not have knowledge and understanding of their own levels of stress. They also self-assess their stress inaccurately and have limited access to instruments for monitoring their stress levels. A system entitled ”A Smart portable and wearable stress level detection and monitoring system based on physiological responses in the body” is designed to overcome that issue and consists of sensors, microcontroller, GSM module, display, long-lasting power battery. Sensors are used to measure physiological signals such as heart rate, heart rate variability, and skin conductance. These signals would then be processed by a microcontroller used as a processor to identify patterns that are associated with stress. The data from the sensors would then be transmitted to a microcontroller for processing. Once the patterns have been identified, the system would provide feedback to the user about their stress levels using GSM. The system would be designed to be worn on the wrist or body. It would be small, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. The system would also be powered by a long-lasting battery. The feedback could be presented in a variety of ways, such as text, or graphs on the display of a system and on a user cellphone. A smart portable and wearable stress level detection and monitoring system could be a valuable tool for people who are looking to manage their stress levels.
