Hold Up: Modelo de Detecção e Controle de emoções em Ambientes Acadêmicos

Abstract

Stress and anxiety are factors that affect student's performance. The Hold Up model seeks to assist the student in detecting and controlling emotions in order to improve ther school performance. The model detects heart rate oscillations through sensors and defines the student's emotional profile and context. Variations in heart rate may indicate stress situations that, when uncontrolled, impact student's performance during school activity. The proposal was evaluated with students from a Brazilian university. The results point to the feasibility of the proposal and the comments provided positive indications that this approach can be used in educational environments.Resumo. Estresse e ansiedade são fatores que afetam o desempenho do aluno. O modelo Hold Up busca auxiliar o aluno na detecção e controle das emoções, visando melhorar seu desempenho acadêmico. O modelo detecta oscilações na frequência cardíaca por meio de sensores e define o perfil e contexto emocional do aluno. Variações na frequência cardíaca podem indicar situações de estresse que, quando não controladas, prejudicam o desempenho do aluno durante a realização da atividade acadêmica. A proposta foi avaliada com alunos de uma universidade brasileira. Os resultados apontam a viabilidade da proposta e os comentários opinativos forneceram indícios positivos de que esta abordagem pode ser usada em ambientes educacionais.

Atena: A Public Primary Healthcare Environment Supported by an Implementation Science Approach

“…Variations in heart rate may indicate stress situations that, when uncontrolled, impact student's performance during university activity. Based on [19], we can say that the results point to the feasibility of the proposal (architecture and infrastructure), and the comments provided by students involved in the experiment gave us positive indications that this approach can be used in the proposed environments. Figure 5 shows outputs from wearable devices related to heartbeat, blood pressure and blood oxygen.…”

“…This first fog environment was characterized by students from a public university, where they were monitored targeting to capture their vital signals. The Hold-up [19], a recommendation system, was developed and implemented, and the voluntaries students were submitted to it. The Hold-up RS execution phases, as illustrated in Figure 4.…”

A Technological Monitoring Architecture for Academics' Mental and Physical Health

“…The authors indicate that it is possible to identify that the student is going through a moment of anxiety, but they do not present alternatives for students to get out of this state. The research of [Silva et al 2019] proposes a model that uses wearable sensors for monitoring and managing students' emotions. The authors present recommendations for students but do not verify their location or whether the student wants to be monitored or not.…”

“…Helping students and teachers monitor stress and anxiety levels can benefit their mental health and teaching and learning. From a technological perspective, we can analyze, through environment sensors, smart bands, and smartwatches, the signals captured, such as heart rate, to determine moments of stress and anxiety during teachers' and students' day [Silva et al 2019, Misra et al 2000]. The relationship between heart rate patterns and anxiety can be found in several studies over the years [Gorman and Sloan 2000].…”

Covid-19: A Digital Transformation Approach to a Public Primary Healthcare Environment

“…In this space students from one university were monitoring targeting to capture their vital signals. A recommendation system, called as Hold-up [19], was implemented students submitted to it. The Hold-up RS execution steps, as illustrated in figure 3, detects heart rate oscillations through sensors and defines the student's emotional profile and context.…”
