  • Publication number: 20250261889
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a stress estimation apparatus includes a processing circuit and an acquirer. The processing circuit detects at least one of a work start time and a work end time for a user performing work during working hours. The processing circuit calculates, based on the detected result, a short-term stress value from a biometric waveform of the user acquired by the acquirer. The processing circuit calculates a baseline based on at least the working-hours short-term stress value. The processing circuit calculates a stress fluctuation range of the user by removing the baseline from the short-term stress value. The processing circuit estimates, based on the stress fluctuation range, a magnitude of long-term stress of the user.

  • Publication number: 20250258063
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an anomaly factor estimation system includes a processor. The processor extracts a first acoustic feature amount based on a frequency, time, and signal intensity from sound data. The processor calculates a first reconstruction error that is a difference between the first acoustic feature amount and a reconstructed feature amount obtained by reconstructing the first acoustic feature amount based on a reconstruction model. The processor estimates an anomaly factor by performing vector search in a database with a query vector based on the first reconstruction error. The database stores a plurality of anomaly factors and of sample vectors based on a plurality of second reconstruction errors in association with each other.

  • Publication number: 20250032021
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a stress detection apparatus includes a processor. The processor acquires heartbeat information. The processor calculates a heart rate variability factor from the heartbeat information. The processor detects change of an activity of sympathetic nervous system, based on the heart rate variability factor. The processor detects change of an activity of parasympathetic nervous system, based on the heart rate variability factor. The processor detects presence/absence of a stress state, based on time from detection of the change of the sympathetic nervous system to detection of the change of the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. The processor acquires outside stimuli. The processor identifies a stressor that has provided the stress state from the acquired outside stimuli, based on timing at which the change of the sympathetic nervous system has been detected if the stress state is detected.
