ABSTRACT
Continuous exposure to stress is harmful for mental and physical health, but to combat stress, one should first detect it. In this paper we propose a method for continuous detection of stressful events using data provided from a commercial wrist device. The method consists of three machine-learning components: a laboratory stress detector that detects short-term stress every 2 minutes; an activity recognizer that continuously recognizes user's activity and thus provides context information; and a context-based stress detector that exploits the output of the laboratory stress detector and the user's context in order to provide the final decision on 20 minutes interval. The method was evaluated in a laboratory and a real-life setting. The accuracy on 55 days of real-life data, for a 2-class problem, was 92%. The method is currently being integrated in a smartphone application for managing mental health and well-being.
