Abstract

Nowadays, stress has becomes one of the major factors that contribute to physical and physiological health problems. Stress may cause many problems occurred, for example the most cases are makes person becomes emotionally uncontrolled (Sudden angry and so on). Hence, it is important ensure individual not to stress. Stress monitor system is used to guides the individual stress level to ensure him/her can adjust her/him mental properly. The purpose of this project was to build a reliable and effective device to measure stress level with ease and also understand the relationship between stresses with three physiological signals. Arduino UNO board is used as the processor for this system to transmit and receive data from temperature sensor, galvanic skin response sensor and pulse rate sensor which are connected and measured in human body. This project also consists of development of fuzzy logic that is used to measure stress level. Fuzzy logic also used to exploiting the relationship between temperature, heart rate and galvanic skin response with stress level. The system can detect and measure stress level in real time for few second intervals depends on human bio-signal itself.
