Description
Summary:Continuous stress monitoring may able to help analyzing and enhance the awareness of an individual on their stress patterns and provide more reliable data information for physicians in interventions. In the past years research, studies on mental stress sensory system were limited inside laboratory environment. However, excluding the effects of physical activity can be impractical while developing a wearable stress sensory system for daily use. In this project, effects of external factors from environment on Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) measurements and integration of several stress sensory system were studied. Electrocardiogram (ECG), GSR, and Activity Recognition System (ARS) were studied under different physical activities: sitting, standing, lying and walking. It is showed from the studies that an overall accuracy of 94.7% in ARS is achieved by using two sensor node system (at thigh and ankle each) which an improvement of 27.3% from using single sensor node system. It is further demonstrated that ARS could help improve in accuracy of wearable stress sensory system.
