Physiologic parameter calculation supporting local and telemetric analysis

Abstract

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), stress is recognized as a predominant disease with raising costs for treatment and rehabilitation. This work shows how stress can be detected in early stages, so that the measurement results are reported to informal and professional caregivers. The system is providing stress detection, analyses, data-stream pre-processing and visualization over wireless connections in mobile environments. The feasibility and correctness of the model has been shown in several cases-studies. As a result, a portable and low-cost application has been developed that can easily be used with common smartphones and a minimum of attribution.
