A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING AND REDUCING MENTAL STRESS

摘要

The present invention proposes an apparatus and method for measuring the user's mental stress level. The apparatus comprises a first measuring unit for measuring a heart rate variability (HRV) signal of a user; a second measuring unit for obtaining a respiration signal of the user; and a processing unit for generating an indicative signal representing the user's mental stress level in dependence on the obtained respiration signal and the measured HRV signal.
