Towards Continuous Monitoring of Well-Being

When linked to wearable biosensors, Intelligent Environments could play a pivotal role in continuously monitoring and securing people’s well-being. We explored the value of one such biosensor that records Electrodermal Activity (EDA) by assessing its correlation with participants’ simultaneously, continuously, self-reported arousal. EDA’s frequency amplitude ‘non-specific’ Skin Conductance Responses low, mid high, or high levels arousal were determined. participants mid/high situations, self-reports showed significant correlations (p < .001) both EDA characteristics. With low arousal, no found. So, cases elevated stress, shows potential being reliable signal stress and, hence, also monitor well-being over time. Follow-up studies should further investigate validate utility as part comprehensive health strategy effectiveness enhancing
