Mobile Phone Sensing Mechanism for Stress Relaxation using Sensor Networks: A Survey

Abstract

In the recent technological world, different kinds of stress have been faced by the human. These survival methods ultimately end up with problems such as stress and strain. The existing systems in avoiding the stress management facilitated the early detection of high blood pressure and other epidemical parameters. In this paper, we propose a system which is capable of computing stress levels and the mood of a human by the blood pressure measurement (BPM). The BPM value and pulse rate value is fed to the mobile phone which does the analyzing part and helps the human to be aware of one’s own stress level and blood pressure. According to the stress level a human face, the relaxation technique is designed on the basis of the human interest. It’s made available on the mobile phone itself. The relaxation technique may be like listening to audio, watch a video, watch a joke, and hear motivational or inspirational speech, etc. that would help to reduce the stress caused to the human. The human personal information, the daily BPM and analysis are stored in the remote server for online help. The doctor or any health-care taker is allowed to access this. So the human can access their BP analysis through online, can post queries regarding their health problems and the health-care taker would reply them. Initially a survey has been conducted on the use of the electronic gadgets by the stress faced by the humans and also another survey from doctors to know exactly the reason behind the stress of the persons regarding such cases of stress management. In this paper we detail the stress level and the corresponding self relaxation technique. Initial experimentation with heuristic algorithms on sensor network oriented SLReduct framework shown the interesting results.
