N2  -  <p>This research project presents a comprehensive methodology for stress identification by combining subjective self-report data and objective physiological signals. The proposed system employs a carefully designed questionnaire, tailored to different age groups, to enhance accuracy in stress assessment. Subjects respond to the questionnaire, providing valuable insights into their emotional well-being. Subsequently, physiological data is collected using an infrared (IR) sensor positioned beneath the wrist, close to the artery. The pulse data obtained is meticulously converted into a CSV file, allowing for efficient preprocessing. The preprocessing phase ensures the integrity of the data, preparing it for machine learning (ML) analysis. The study harnesses ML techniques, specifically SVM (Support Vector Machines) &amp; KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors), to classify stress levels based on the pre-processed data. Through feature extraction, relevant patterns are identified, contributing to the accurate characterization of stress states. This integrative approach offers a robust framework for stress assessment, taking into account both subjective and physiological dimensions.</p>
<p>Results demonstrate promising accuracy levels: Support Vector Machine (SVM) Reached a level of precision of 0.98 (+/- 0.20), Decision Tree showed 0.93 (+/- 0.30), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) reached 0.88 (+/- 0.44). It also implements the voting classifier for improved performance of 98.6% of accuracy. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in accurately identifying stress levels. Integrating subjective insights with objective physiological data not only enhances stress identification but also offers a comprehension of the intricate correlation between mental states and physiological reactions. This comprehensive strategy holds substantial implications across diverse domains such as healthcare, psychology, and human-computer interaction.</p>
