Abstract

Stress is one of the critical health factors that could be detected by Human Activity Recognition (HAR) which consists of physical and mental health. HAR can raise awareness of self-care and prevent critical situations. Recently, HAR used non-invasive wearable physiological sensors. Moreover, deep learning techniques are becoming a significant tool for analyzing health data.In this paper, we propose a human lifelog monitoring model for stress behavior recognition based on deep learning, which analyses stress levels during activity. The proposed approach considers activity and physiological data for recognizing physical activity and stress levels.To tackle these issues, we proposed a model that utilizes hand-crafted feature generation techniques compatible with a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) based method for physical activity and stress level recognition. We have used a dataset called WESAD, collected using wearable sensors for model evaluation. This dataset presented four levels of stress emotion, including baseline, amusement, stress, and meditation.The following results are from the hand-crafted feature approaches compatible with the bidirectional LSTM model. The proposed model achieves an accuracy of 95.6% and an F1-score of 96.6%.The proposed HAR model efficiently recognizes stress levels and contributes to maintaining physical and mental well-being.
