Synergistic Stress Determination and Management System

The inventive concept integrates a camera-based stress determination system with AI, IoT, blockchain, and other technologies to create a more powerful system for stress monitoring, analysis, and management.

The original patent, 'System and method for camera-based stress determination', provided a method for detecting human stress using camera-captured images. However, it lacked the capability to securely store and manage stress level indications, provide real-time stress monitoring and feedback, offer personalized stress management recommendations, predict future stress levels, and enable remote stress monitoring and analysis. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by synergistically combining the camera-based stress determination system with distinct technologies.

The inventive concept consists of a camera module capturing an image sequence of a body part, a processing unit trained using an HC changes training set, and various modules integrating AI, IoT, blockchain, and cloud-based technologies. The system determines a set of bitplanes from the captured images and outputs a stress level indication. The blockchain-based storage module securely stores and manages the stress level indications, while the AI-powered recommendation engine provides personalized stress management recommendations. The IoT-based wearable device enables real-time stress monitoring and feedback, and the cloud-based analytics platform analyzes stress trends and patterns from multiple users.

The new claims introduce the novel combination of a camera-based stress determination system with AI, IoT, blockchain, and cloud-based technologies, providing a more comprehensive and powerful system for stress monitoring, analysis, and management. The inventive step lies in the synergistic integration of these distinct technologies to create a system that is more than the sum of its individual components.

Alternative embodiments may include using different machine learning algorithms, incorporating additional sensors or wearable devices, or integrating the system with existing healthcare infrastructure. Variations may include using the system for stress monitoring in specific industries, such as aviation or healthcare, or developing a mobile application for individual stress management.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including healthcare, wellness, and human resources. The system can be marketed as a comprehensive stress management solution for individuals, organizations, and healthcare providers, offering a competitive advantage in the growing market for stress monitoring and management solutions.
