“…This contrasts with the environmental category since radars are used in more than 33% of the studies, being the leading technology followed by cameras (18%) and fiber optic sensors (14%). There are types of sensors, such as magnetometers, gyroscopes, microphones, optical sensors, inductive sensors, or thermistors, in which its use is very limited in both categories [ 62 , 73 , 76 , 77 , 81 , 91 , 95 , 106 , 107 , 115 , 119 , 120 , 131 , 135 , 156 , 160 , 162 , 185 , 193 , 217 ].…”

“…However, in view of Table 4 , this method seems suitable for many applications. Wi-Fi, radio frequency, or Zigbee were used in a limited number of studies [ 73 , 96 , 144 , 156 , 159 ]. Regarding wired transmission, third column of Table 4 shows that USB communication was the preferred option [ 74 , 76 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 109 , 114 , 118 , 133 , 141 , 158 ].…”

“…These modules are energy demanding, and therefore the use of energy harvesters can only be used as a complement, but not as the primary power source. In this regard, many studies [ 2 , 3 , 17 , 62 , 65 , 73 , 84 , 86 , 87 , 89 , 91 , 98 , 99 , 101 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 119 , 131 , 144 , 145 , 147 , 162 ] used rechargeable batteries to power the systems. The most common declared battery lives were in the order of hours ( Figure 23 ) [ 2 , 17 , 62 , 69 , 101 , 115 , 119 ], although some studies did not even provide data on this point.…”

“…In general, battery live is highly dependent on transmission technology. The works of Bhattacharya et al [ 156 ], Puranik et al [ 73 ], White et al [ 96 ], Ciobotariu et al [ 144 ], and Mitchell et al [ 159 ] used wearable devices with Wi-Fi [ 73 , 96 , 144 , 156 ], Zigbee [ 159 ], or GSM/GPRS [ 144 ], with high variability in power consumption.…”

Respiratory monitoring is essential in sleep studies, sport training, patient monitoring, or health at work, among other applications. This paper presents a comprehensive systematic review of respiration sensing systems. After several systematic searches in scientific repositories, the 198 most relevant papers in this field were analyzed in detail. Different items were examined: sensing technique and sensor, respiration parameter, sensor location and size, general system setup, communication protocol, processing station, energy autonomy and power consumption, sensor validation, processing algorithm, performance evaluation, and analysis software. As a result, several trends and the remaining research challenges of respiration sensors were identified. Long-term evaluations and usability tests should be performed. Researchers designed custom experiments to validate the sensing systems, making it difficult to compare results. Therefore, another challenge is to have a common validation framework to fairly compare sensor performance. The implementation of energy-saving strategies, the incorporation of energy harvesting techniques, the calculation of volume parameters of breathing, or the effective integration of respiration sensors into clothing are other remaining research efforts. Addressing these and other challenges outlined in the paper is a required step to obtain a feasible, robust, affordable, and unobtrusive respiration sensing system.

“…Therefore, from whole psychotherapeutic treatments to single self-applied applications, studies in the literature have focused on how people can better regulate their emotions and manage their stress levels. Among many other techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, autogenic training, biofeedback, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, guided imagery, mindfulness, yoga, or Tai-Chi, are some of the stress management interventions that have received attention from researchers [ 20 , 21 ].…”

How to Relax in Stressful Situations: A Smart Stress Reduction System

et al. 2020

Stress is an inescapable element of the modern age. Instances of untreated stress may lead to a reduction in the individual’s health, well-being and socio-economic situation. Stress management application development for wearable smart devices is a growing market. The use of wearable smart devices and biofeedback for individualized real-life stress reduction interventions has received less attention. By using our unobtrusive automatic stress detection system for use with consumer-grade smart bands, we first detected stress levels. When a high stress level is detected, our system suggests the most appropriate relaxation method by analyzing the physical activity-based contextual information. In more restricted contexts, physical activity is lower and mobile relaxation methods might be more appropriate, whereas in free contexts traditional methods might be useful. We further compared traditional and mobile relaxation methods by using our stress level detection system during an eight day EU project training event involving 15 early stage researchers (mean age 28; gender 9 Male, 6 Female). Participants’ daily stress levels were monitored and a range of traditional and mobile stress management techniques was applied. On day eight, participants were exposed to a ‘stressful’ event by being required to give an oral presentation. Insights about the success of both traditional and mobile relaxation methods by using the physiological signals and collected self-reports were provided.
