Acute Mental Stress Score

The Acute Mental Stress Score (AMSS) is a powerful metric to quantify the acute mental stress status of the user, using key biomarker and facial micro expression metrics. An all-in-one, scientifically-backed index to personalize the mental health guidance on your platform and increase the self-awareness of your users.

How is it calculated?

The Acute Mental Stress Score is calculated based on a combination of machine learning informed by selected HRV metrics and context-based reasoning.

How can it be used?

This unique all-in-one biomarker can accurately assess the stress load, providing information about the user's capacity to cope with stress. It serves as a valuable indicator to detect whether a person is potentially heading towards burnout or chronic stress. For a comprehensive evaluation of mental fitness, utilize this metric in combination with the morning readiness score.

Use the AMSS to offer hyper-personalized actionables to the user. Guide the user to relevant stress-relieving activities/offerings on your online platform. Low AMSS values serve as warnings and can be the starting point to introduce preventive measures for individuals engaged in prolonged stressful activity that may lead to burnout.
