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.
The Acute Mental Stress Score is calculated based on a combination of machine learning informed by selected HRV metrics and context-based reasoning.
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.
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 and 1 | 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 | 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 | Normal | Yellow | You may be feeling a little more stressed than usual. Stay hydrated and avoid junk food. |
4 and 5 | Good | Green | You have a low stress level. Keep going like this! |
