OPTIMI (Online Predicative Tools for Intervention in Mental Illness) OPTIMI ECG sensor as a measurement tool for signs of stress and poor coping in high risk individuals
Abstract
Many researchers believe that depression is the outcome of a pathogenic combination between external stress and poor coping. Based on this hypothesis, the OPTIMI project is aimed to develop automated tools for the detection and characterization of poor coping. The current article is focused on the ECG sensor. The article will inform about the preliminary conclusions and results the experts have extracted from the data collected in the calibration trial in order to identify patterns and indicators related to stress and coping.
