Why the study?
It was unclear which heart rate variability (HRV) and morphologic variability (MV) metrics have the highest accuracy for detecting stress during real-world driving.
Does monitoring of morphologic variability (MV) metrics of ECG signals improve the accuracy of stress detection in drivers compared to traditional HRV analysis?

May support driver stress monitoring with select HRV/MV metrics; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does monitoring of morphologic variability (MV) metrics of ECG signals improve the accuracy of stress detection in drivers compared to traditional HRV analysis?
Morphologic variability of ECG signals provides a highly accurate (92%) physiological index for detecting mental stress in drivers.
