 STRESS METER
• Problem statement:
• Certain amount of stress is necessary for our lives, but too much stress
brings negative consequences such as decreases in level of concentration, mental health issues
such as anxiety and depression as well as ineffective ways of coping, such as substance abuse.
Most people do not know when and what situations they get stress from. Therefore, we are
designing a system that can daily record a person’s stress level and time and help the user with
regulated breathing as a way of reducing their momentary stress. On the market, there are smart
phone’s apps where people can hold a finger to the camera, which will then detect slight changes
in color related to blood flow. With these apps, users can purchase other apps that direct the
user towards stress reduction techniques.
• These solutions, however, do not continuously record stress level. If a
person able to recognize when they get stress and what they get stress from, it will be helpful for
them to find ways to relieve it. There are also continuous stress detection devices, such as stress
dots but they don’t provide the user with a way of relieving there momentary stress. It is our
intention to address these gaps in the market and create a system that will be of benefits to a
great many patients and health care practitioners by better assisting them by taking control of an
elevated physiological response that has many negative health consequence.
• Objectives:
• Our goal is to create and combine a continuous monitoring device and stress
management device into one system. Our continuous monitoring device will be responsible
for monitoring the user’s stress level, so that the user will be able to concentrate on his/her
tasks throughout the day and be assured that stress levels are accounted for. We will also
help the user regulate his breathing to relieve any stress that is detected..

• Specifications:
• Micro-controller (Arduino Nano 3.0)
• Led (white,red)
• pezzo-buzzer
• Lm3915
• Touch pads
• 9v battery
• NPN transistor (BC548)
• BRIEF IDEA :
• Stress meter is a device which used to measure stress of the body
depending upon the current flow through our body. Our body resistance level varies
with stress of our body and mind. A highly stressed body results in increase of blood
flow through our body mechanism which result in increase in ion concentration in our
body and thus allow more current to flow across our body. While a stress free human
being has very resistance due to less blood flow and thus result in less ion
concentration all our body. Our project simply follows the principle of ohm?s law and
current flows through led help in determining the stress by glowing different LEDs.
• Project consists of five LEDs of three different colors and a piezo-buzzer.
Different LEDs used to denote different stress level. The green ( first two) shows
normal level, blue(third one)shows a little higher than normal and last two red LEDs
show high stress level and if current flows is greater than the allowing limit then
piezo=-buzzer goes off and thus sounds a alarm. If implemented properly this device
can be used to fight disease stress and with further improvements can be used to find
another counterpart diseases like depression and another nervous related syndromes.
