Abstract

Stress is a major contributor to mental and physical health disorders in modern society. Continuous monitoring and early detection of stress are essential to prevent long-term complications. This paper presents a Real-Time Stress Detection and Relaxation Feedback System that integrates EMG sensors, temperature sensing, IoT, Machine Learning, and relaxation guidance. Physiological signals are acquired using EMG and temperature sensors and processed by an ESP32 microcontroller. The collected data is transmitted to a web-based platform and analyzed using machine learning models to classify stress levels. A web application developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript provides real-time visualization and personalized relaxation feedback. The proposed system offers an affordable, portable, and intelligent solution for real-time stress monitoring and management.
