Stress and office-syndrome detection using EEG, HRV and hand movement

Abstract

Stress and Office syndrome are a serious problem that affects a large number of people and tend to develop health problems that can interfere with work and quality of life. In fact, the Institute reports that up to 90 percent clinical studies have shown that stress and office syndrome are a major cause of cardiovascular disease, depression, suicide and substance abuse. Treatment's cost are more than ten million baht each year in healthcare expenses. According to these problems we designed to use wearable technology which can be tracked and managed to helping them reduce their problems. Low-cost single dry-sensor EEG Neurosky headset and intelligent watch made by Arduino was used in this project. The EEG signal, hear rate variation and hand movement are analyzed to indicate stress level and the Office syndrome can be detected by intelligent watch. The goals of this research is to detect stress and Office syndrome and reduce chance to be the diseases.
