Wellness Assessment Through Environmental Sensors and Mobile Smartphones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wellness is an affective state that plays a significant role in our everyday lives, influencing our behaviour, social communication and performance, and even more. Although technological advancements are used to help our society to become more health conscious, wellness and mental health is still lacking in adequate resources, particularly among the student population. In this study, we collected data from 21 participants using mobile sensors and phones. The mobile sensor collected data regarding the temperature, humidity, and luminosity of the environment while the phone provide location information and data processing. The experimental data were analyzed through Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and General Well-Being Scale (GWBS). We assess the impact of the location on PSS and PSQI, and the impact of environmental conditions on GWBS. According to experimental result and correlation analysis among the data, luminosity has stronger impact on the wellness than the other two environmental parameters.
