We all have days where we feel like we are under a lot of stress, and it's hard to manage it. But what if we had a device that could not only detect our stress levels, but also provide us with tips on how to manage it? That's exactly what Samsung Electronics Co. is working on with their new patent.
The patent, US20230233123A1, is about a method for detecting stress events and providing recommendations on how to manage it. It uses data collected from a wearable device and compares it to templates to determine if the response to stress is healthy or unhealthy. If it's unhealthy, it gives a recommendation for managing stress.
Physiologically, “stress” may be viewed as the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activities. The sympathetic system activates the person to face the stressful situation, and the parasympathetic system helps recover from the arousal and maintain a physiological balance of the body. Various stressors in daily life can trigger physiological responses that may either be detrimental to mental and physical well-being or be useful to increase focus and productivity.
The patent also explains that repeated exposure to stress can accumulate and is linked to cardiovascular diseases and essential hypertension. It's important to be able to detect and manage stress before it becomes too detrimental to our health. Samsung's patent will allow us to do just that, and in a much more convenient way.
The wearable device, which is part of the patent, will be able to detect changes in the user's physiology, track their activity, and monitor their breathing rate. It will also take into account the user's lifestyle and environment to give tailor-made suggestions on how to manage stress.
The device will provide the user with personalized stress-management tips, such as recommending exercise, mindfulness techniques, or relaxation activities. It will also be able to detect unhealthy responses to stress, such as increased heart rate, and will offer tips to reduce it.
Samsung's patent is an innovative way to help us manage our stress, and it could potentially revolutionize our approach to mental health. While there is no guarantee that the patent will be brought to market, it could be a major step forward in improving our overall well-being. With this patent, Samsung is demonstrating their commitment to improving people's lives through technology.
The patent, US20230233123A1, is a major breakthrough in the field of stress detection and management. It could help many people manage their stress in a more efficient and convenient way. If it is ever brought to market, it could be a game-changer in the way we approach our mental and physical health.
At the end of the day, it is important to be aware of our stress levels and be able to manage it effectively. Samsung Electronics Co.’s patent has the potential to be a great tool to help us do just that. While there is no guarantee that it will come to market, it is a promising step towards a more efficient and accurate way of managing stress.
