Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, I have developed the stress monitor for remote diagnosis using tablet terminator available for simultaneous measurements of autonomic nervous function (Low Frequency/High Frequency: LF/HF) and blood oxygen saturation. The present monitor detects pulse wave signals by using a sensor unit composed of laser light sources and CCD camera and, analysis results are transferred to the medical institution via the wireless LAN. Experiments were performed for several volunteers stressed by thinking task to confirm the feasibility of the present monitor for estimating the stress condition quantitatively.
