Employing Multimodal Machine Learning for Stress Detection

In the current information age, the human lifestyle has become more knowledge-oriented, leading to sedentary employment. This has given rise to a number of health and mental disorders. Mental wellness is one of the most neglected, however crucial, aspects of today’s fast-paced world. Mental health i...

This has given rise to a number of health and mental disorders. Mental wellness is one of the most neglected, however crucial, aspects of today’s fast-paced world. Mental health issues can, both directly and indirectly, affect other sections of human physiology and impede an individual’s day-to-day activities and performance. However, identifying the stress and finding the stress trend for an individual that may lead to serious mental ailments is challenging and involves multiple factors. Such identification can be achieved accurately by fusing these multiple modalities (due to various factors) arising from a person’s behavioral patterns.

In this work, a multimodal AI-based framework is proposed to monitor a person’s working behavior and stress levels. We propose a methodology for efficiently detecting stress due to workload by concatenating heterogeneous raw sensor data streams (e.g., face expressions, posture, heart rate, and computer interaction). This data can be securely stored and analyzed to understand and discover personalized unique behavioral patterns leading to mental strain and fatigue. The contribution of this work is twofold: firstly, proposing a multimodal AI-based strategy for fusion to detect stress and its level and, secondly, identifying a stress pattern over a period of time.
