Abstract

Continuous stress monitoring may help users better under- stand their stress patterns and provide physicians with more reliable data for interventions. Previously, studies on mental stress detection were lim- ited to a laboratory environment where participants generally rested in a sedentary position. However, it is impractical to exclude the effects of physical activity while developing a pervasive stress monitoring appli- cation for everyday use. The physiological responses caused by mental stress can be masked by variations due to physical activity.
