Automatic recognition of context and stress to support knowledge workers
conference paper
Motivation - Developing a computer tool that improves wellbeing at work. Research approach - We collect unobtrusive sensor data and apply pattern recognition approaches to infer the context and stress level of the user. We will develop a coaching tool based upon this information and evaluate its effectiveness in user studies. Findings/Design - The resulting system will be able to create more awareness on stress for knowledge workers, support them to improve their working pattern, resulting in an increase of well-being at work. Take away message - Unobtrusive sensing and smart reasoning can be used to create a user aware system that improves well-being at work by providing feedback and support. Copyright 2012 ACM.
