  • Stress detection method and apparatus
    Patent number: 10178969
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for an apparatus for stress event detection. In some embodiments, the apparatus may be a wearable device and may include at least one first sensor disposed on the wearable apparatus to generate a first sensor signal indicative of a brain activity of a user, at least one second sensor disposed on the wearable apparatus to generate a second sensor signal indicative of a heart rate of the user, and at least one third sensor disposed on the wearable apparatus to generate a third sensor signal indicative of a respiration rate of the user. The apparatus may further include a controller coupled with the at least first, second, and third sensors, to detect a stress event for the user, based at least in part on the first, second, and third sensor signals. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
