There is always so much happening around with the global pandemic and other current events that every human being is affected one way or another. Having emotions and reacting to events is good as long as there is a healthy stress response. When a person does not know how to cope with stress, technology should be able to provide a solution. Often, people don’t realize that they are under stress until the very last moment. In order to avoid these mishaps, iFeliz a stress control system is proposed. iFeliz proposes different approaches to address on-spot or live sudden fluctuations in stress: a day-end method to allow the user understand the changes in daily physiological fluctuations, and weekly and monthly approaches to analyze the variations in stress for a certain period to predict any further health issues. Post traumatic disorder is a significant issue and life after COVID-19 will not be the same. Keeping this in mind, iFeliz is proposed to improve the smart healthcare domain thereby improving the smartness in smart cities.
