Abstract
Occupational stress has become a problem that increasingly affects the health of workers. Suffering stress continuously can lead to more serious behavioural disorders such as anxiety or depression. Our work focuses in the proposal of a system which can monitor the stress thanks to subjective information from the workers and objective data from the environment. The information can be consulted by a specialist, and thus, assist the worker in a personalised way and help in the detection and prevention of acute stress cases.
