Wearable sensor accurately detects stress via respiration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a low-power wearable respiratory sensor designed for non-invasive stress monitoring. The system utilizes a force-sensitive resistor embedded in an abdominal belt, integrated with a custom Bluetooth Low Energy acquisition board. Preliminary experiments with 12 participants showed that the sensor could distinguish between stress-induction and relaxation phases with 88.0% test accuracy, suggesting potential applications in affective computing. AI

IMPACT This sensor could enable new applications in affective computing and mental health monitoring.
