Rational design of wearable device for stress assessment via perspiration analysis
Project Description
Stress, also known as a silent killer, has high prevalence in HK. Current approaches for stress assessment are rather subjective. The project aims to develop a stress quantification approach to aid mental well-being via the development of non-invasive wearable sensor. In this project, students will explore strategies for non-invasive sweat collection for stress monitoring and design experimental procedures for stress assessment.
