A Stress Sensor Based on Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) Controlled by ZigBee
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sometimes, one needs to control different emotional situations which can lead the person suffering them to dangerous situations, in both the medium and short term. There are studies which indicate that stress increases the risk of cardiac problems. In this study we have designed and built a stress sensor based on Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), and controlled by ZigBee. In order to check the device's performance, we have used 16 adults (eight women and eight men) who completed different tests requiring a certain degree of effort, such as mathematical operations or breathing deeply. On completion, we appreciated that GSR is able to detect the different states of each user with a success rate of 76.56%. In the future, we plan to create an algorithm which is able to differentiate between each state.

The stress problem has become the major dilemma affecting many people’s lives and professions. Nowadays, stress is often unrecognized, and people accept stress as a normal condition. Short term stress is not necessarily bad, as on some occasions it can help us to meet challenges. On the other hand, prolonged stress should be avoided because it has been shown to cause physical breakdowns and mak...

Galvanic skin response (GSR) is commonly used to measure short-term emotional and cognitive stress, but measuring GSR requires obtrusive equipment. We present a model to predict stress levels solely from electrocardiogram (ECG) data, which can be measured with wearable consumer-grade heart monitors. Our model incorporates time and frequency domain features of heart rate variability, and the spe...

Stress has affected human’s lives in many areas, today. Stress can adversely affect human’s health to such a degree as to either cause death or indicate a major contributor to death. Therefore, in recent years, some researchers have focused to developing systems to detect stress and then presenting viable solutions to manage this issue. Generally, stress can be identified through three differe...

Abstract The research was conducted with the purpose to study the effect of prayer and meditation on galvanic skin response (GSR). It was hypothesized that there was a significant positive effect of prayer and meditation (Om chanting) on galvanic skin response (GSR). The sample consisted of 20 normal, healthy female participants through purposive sampling. The age group of the sample was 18 to ...
