Acute Mental Stress Score
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.
The mental stress score represents the acute mental stress load on an individual, as measured by the relative changes in heart rate and heart rate variability and can be provided as a daily insight alongside the Morning Readiness Score.
Acute Mental Stress Score is returned as an integer on a scale of 0 to 5 as a part of the output response JSON, with the key ‘acute_mental_stress_score’.
Output (score /5) | Definition | Example Color Indicator | Example User Text |
0 – 2 | Very bad | Red | You are quite stressed on this moment. It's time to prioritize relaxation, recovery, and self-love. Activities like light stretching, journaling, and taking a hot bath can bring some mental relief. For better sleep, give yourself a little extra time to decompress before bed. |
2 – 3 | Bad | Red | You may be feeling a little more stressed than usual. We highly recommend implementing some stress management activities today like breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. |
3 – 4 | Normal | Yellow | You may be feeling a little more stressed than usual. Stay hydrated and avoid junk food. |
4 – 5 | Good | Green | You have a low stress level. Keep going like this! |
