Stress is a general adaptation syndrome, caused by a person's perception of danger about an event. While the perception of an event as stressful varies for each individual, several studies show that public speaking is a source of anxiety and panic for most people. Moreover, the inability to prevent or manage these conditions affects their overall performance negatively. The literature depicts different systems developed in order to recognize the subject's stress level by monitoring physiological signals. However, they are specifically designed for laboratory environments and clinical analysis and are often characterized by several limitations. Therefore, aiming at developing a dailylife application able to help people prevent and handle anxiety conditions by improving their self-perception, we propose an embedded system for real-time biometric feature analysis. This system is able to handle all the steps from the acquisition to the stress and anxiety status classification. The whole framework is implemented on a Xilinx PYNQ-Z1 board, leveraging both the ARM processor and the FPGA. Taking advantage of the programmable logic brings to a system able to process data with higher performance and energy efficiency, helping to face the embedded application constraints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
