Bridging the
Gap in
Stress Research
Traditional approaches to stress monitoring in OCD research rely on episodic assessments. Our wearable system enables continuous, real-world data collection, providing unprecedented insights.
The Challenge
Traditional Approach
- Episodic assessments in clinical settings
- Limited to snapshot measurements
- Missing real-world stress triggers
- Subject to recall bias
Our Solution
- Continuous 24/7 monitoring
- Real-world data collection
- Objective physiological measurements
- Correlate stress with daily activities
Our Journey
From identifying the fundamental research gap to building and validating a functional prototype.
Problem Identification
Identified the gap between episodic clinical assessments and continuous real-world stress monitoring in OCD research.
System Architecture
Designed a multi-sensor wearable system capable of capturing PPG, EDA, temperature, and motion data simultaneously.
Prototype Creation
Built functional prototypes using ESP32 microcontrollers with integrated signal processing capabilities.
Validation Studies
Conducted validation studies comparing our system output with established clinical measurement devices.
Core Values
Precision
Every component is designed for accurate, research-grade data collection.
User-Centered
Comfortable, unobtrusive design that participants can wear throughout their daily lives.
Innovation
Pushing the boundaries of wearable technology for mental health research.
Impact
Ultimately aimed at improving understanding and treatment of OCD.
