Unobtrusive stress detection using wearables: application and challenges in a university setting by Peter Neigel, Andrew Vargo, Benjamin Tag, Koichi Kise

“…We identify potential stress patterns by observing elevated waking heart rate (HR) and maximum waking HR, supported by related metrics such as sleep HR, sleep heart rate variability (HRV), activity patterns, and sleep phases.ResultsThe physiological changes align with significant academic and societal events, indicating a strong link to stress.DiscussionOur findings demonstrate the potential of consumer wearables to detect collective changes in stress biomarkers within a cohort using in-the-wild data, i.e., data that is noisy and has gaps. …”
