Problems solved by technology

However, these devices require the acquisition of stress state data through electrodes in contact with the skin, so the practical application of these devices is very annoying for users
Moreover, known devices necessarily negatively affect the user's state of relaxation

Embodiment Construction

[0046] FIG. 1 schematically shows the components of the device according to the invention incorporated into a shirt 10 .

[0047] During operation, the device 1 according to the invention acts as a stress level feedback fabric system. Device 1 is able to accomplish the following three important tasks:

[0048] 1) Monitoring a person's stress-related vital signs in an undetected manner;

[0049] 2) Determining the person's stress level from these monitored indications; and

[0050] 3) Provide intuitive feedback on vital signs and determined stress levels.

[0051] The device 1 according to the invention comprises various components indicated hereinafter.

[0052] In order to detect stress-related body parameters such as muscle co-contractions and changes in heart rate, the device 1 according to the invention comprises body sensors 20 . Examples of these sensors are non-contact EMG / ECG sensors, body temperature sensors and skin conductance sensors. According to an important...

Abstract

A device (1) for determining a stress-related condition in a person and providing feedback about this condition, comprising: a body sensor (20) for detecting a stress-related body parameter; a stress assessment element (40); and Feedback device, wherein said stress assessment element (40) is designed to process input provided by a body sensor (20) and to determine a control for controlling said feedback device based on the input provided by said body sensor (20) parameter. The human body sensor (20) is integrated into the fabric structure so that the sensor (20) is not felt by the person being tested and thus the test result cannot be affected by the interaction between the device (1) and the person.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for determining a person's stress level and providing feedback based on the determined stress level, comprising: [0002] - at least one body sensor for detecting stress-related body parameters, said sensor being integrated into the fabric structure; [0003] - stress assessment elements; and [0004] - feedback device; [0005] Wherein the stress evaluation element is designed to process the input provided by the human sensor and to determine a control parameter for controlling the feedback device based on the input provided by the human sensor. Background technique [0006] In our fast-paced world, an increasing number of people suffer from musculoskeletal dysfunction associated with emotional stress, resulting in enormous social and financial costs. Therefore, there is a strong need for a device that detects emotional stress and provides appropriate feedback, thereby reducing the stress level of the d...
