What is Stress?
 A biological response to physical or emotional stimuli that causes bodily or
mental tension and is a factor in disease causation[2].
 Approximately 284 million people worldwide have mental disorders
emanating from stress.[1]
 Burnout affects 76% of employees at least occasionally[3].
 Worldwide estimated 1 million workers are absent every day because of
stress[1].
 Monitoring stress provides crucial insights, aiding proactive stress
management.
 Early Detection empowers individuals to address stress before it impacts
well-being.

Types of Stress
 Acute Stress
 Immediate response to a specific event
 Short-term & often intense.
 Chronic Stress
 Prolonged exposure to stressors.
 Persistent, continuous pressure.
 Episodic Acute Stress
 Frequent occurrence of acute stress.
 Tendency to “overreact” to situations.
 Categories of Stressors:
• Physical
• Emotional
• Environmental
• Social

The Stress-Heart Rate Connection
 Basics of Heart Rate :
 Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute (bpm).
 Controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
 Relation to Stress:
 Stress triggers the "fight or flight" response.
 Autonomic Nervous System affects heart rate: sympathetic (increase)
and parasympathetic (decrease).
 Monitoring Pulse Dynamics:
 Pulse reflects changes in emotional states.
 Increased heart rate during stress indicates physiological arousal.
 Significance
 Understanding pulse dynamics aids in recognizing and managing stress.
 Provides real-time insights into emotional well-being.

Impact of Stress on Health
 Physical Impacts:
 Increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
 Weakened immune system, leading to frequent illnesses.
 Elevated blood pressure and potential long-term health issues.
 Mental Impacts
 Greater susceptibility to anxiety and depression.
 Impaired cognitive function and decision-making.
 Disruption of sleep patterns, contributing to fatigue.
 Behavioural Impacts
 Adoption of unhealthy coping mechanisms (e.g., smoking, overeating).
 Increased likelihood of substance abuse.
 Impaired social interactions and relationships.

Importance of Early Detection
 Early Warning Signs
 Recognizing subtle cues before stress escalates.
 Identifying changes in behaviour, sleep patterns, and emotional well-being.
 Prevention vs. Intervention

 Proactive stress management for overall well-being.
 Timely interventions to prevent chronic stress-related health issues.

Technology In Stress Monitoring
 Wearable Devices
 Smartwatches and fitness trackers offer continuous heart rate monitoring.
 Track trends over time, providing valuable insights into stress patterns.
 Pulse Oximeters
 Measure oxygen levels in the blood, reflecting physiological stress.
 Useful for assessing respiratory response during stressful situations.
 Mobile Apps:
 Stress tracking applications utilize heart rate data for real-time analysis.
 Provide users with actionable feedback and stress management tools.
 Integration Potential:
 Increasing connectivity between devices for comprehensive stress monitoring.
 Enables a holistic approach to mental well-being through various data sources.

Pulse Dynamics As an Emotional Indicator
 Research: Studies link heart rate patterns to emotions.
 Real-time Tracking: Wearables provide instant insights.
 Visual Representation: Graphs show emotional states.
 Applications: Inform personalized stress interventions.
 Takeaway: Pulse dynamics enable proactive mental health care.
