A Case Based Approach Using Behavioural Biometrics to Determine a Users Stress Level
Publication Type:
Conference/Workshop Paper
Venue:
In Workshop proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Case Based Reasoning
Abstract
One of today's largest and most costly health problem in
the industrialized world is caused by stress related illnesses. High stress
levels lead to reduced productivity and poor health. Stress puts high
strain on a persons physiology and will eventually lead to a variety of
di®erent illnesses requiring sic leave and medical treatment. Increasing
number of people use computers in their daily work, e-mail, account-
ing, writing reports, programming etc. A number of tools exist that uses
personalized timers to remind a person to take brakes regularly. This is
rarely su±cient for e±cient stress management. - We propose a system
that monitors a persons stress level and with suitable techniques and
methods reduces a persons stress to safe levels. Biometrical data such
as keystroke dynamics are used today in security applications for iden-
ti¯cation of a persons identity. We suggest that a similar approach is
used for stress level detection. This paper proposes a CBR approach to
determine patients stress level based upon biometrical data. A prototype
and initial tests show promising results. The system calibrates itself to
the user using user feedback.
