TL;DR

A machine learning-based approach for assessing mental stress using wearable sensor data that can provide accurate and continuous stress monitoring, supporting applications in healthcare, workplace monitoring, and personal wellness management is presented.

Abstract

Mental stress is a major health issue that affects an individual's physical and psychological well-being. Conventional stress assessment techniques mainly depend on self-reporting methods and clinical evaluations, which are subjective and unsuitable for continuous monitoring. With the advancement of wearable sensor technology, physiological signals such as heart rate, electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and body movement can be collected in real time. This paper presents a machine learning-based approach for assessing mental stress using wearable sensor data. The proposed system involves data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification using machine learning algorithms. The developed framework can provide accurate and continuous stress monitoring, supporting applications in healthcare, workplace monitoring, and personal wellness management.
