Abstract

Stress is so prevalent in our society that everyone must deal with it. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, stress become weighty as it caused stress because people had to deal with social disruptions and reorganise their job and home schedules. There have been many studies and methods developed to assess stress in the human body. However, few of these stress assessment methods are accompanied by stress controlling. Moreover, some products on the market are outrageously pricey with limited sensor and benefit. Most crucially, the products did not implement IoT technology. This project's goal is to create a low-cost system that can monitor and control user stress levels. It monitors EMG, GSR, and PPG signals to detect stress. Then an IoT platform was created to display the signals. The IoT platform also allows users to activate stress-relieving features. The system includes a speaker that plays soothing music, an RGB strip that emits calming blue light, and an aromatherapy water atomizer. Three peoples' EMG, GSR, and PPG signals were obtained after different levels of physical exercise. The results showed that different levels of physical activity resulted in varying levels of stress. These findings indicated that stress can be detected early before it is over and caused negative impact that can affect our mental, physical, and emotional detrimentally.
