Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in employees being at risk of significant stress. There is increased interest by employers to offer employees stress monitoring via third party commercial sensor-based devices. These devices assess physiological parameters such as heart rate variability and are marketed as an indirect measure of the cardiac autonomic nervous system. Stress is correlated with an increase in sympathetic nervous activity that may be associated with an acute or chronic stress response. Interestingly, recent studies have shown that individuals affected with COVID will have some residual autonomic dysfunction that will likely render it difficult to track both stress and stress reduction using heart rate variability. The aims of the present study are to explore web and blog information using five operational commercial technology solution platforms that offer heart rate variability for stress detection. Across five platforms we found a number that combined HRV with other biometrics to assess stress. The type of stress being measured was not defined. Importantly, no company considered cardiac autonomic dysfunction because of post-COVID infection and only one other company mentioned other factors affecting the cardiac autonomic nervous system and how this may impact HRV accuracy. All companies suggested they could only assess associations with stress and were careful not to claim HRV could diagnosis stress. We recommend that managers think carefully about whether HRV is accurate enough for their employees to manage their stress during COVID.

Description:

With SomaSleep, we are enabling consumers to track all stages of sleep – including REM – in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Data will be available through the SomaSleep Mobile App for easy sharing with users’ doctors.

SomaSleep is lightweight, easy-to-use, and captures data about the user’s sleep for a full eight hours using a small battery.

This in-home consumer wellness wearable means a better night’s sleep is now more accessible for more people.

SomaSleep uses Somalytics’ award-winning SomaCap carbon-nanotube paper composite (CPC™) capacitive sensors to track eye movements.

As the world’s smallest nano-based capacitive sensors, SomaCap is establishing an entirely new category of sensor technology.

Abstract:

There is a growing number of lifelogging retrieval systems that have been introduced in several lifelogging workshops and sessions. Across all systems at the LSC, which is an annual international challenge about lifelogging retrieval, our Myscéal is currently considered as the state-of-the-art. In this paper, we describe the system in detail and show how it has been upgraded through time since firstly introduced in 2020. In addition, we analyse Myscéal performance not only in the three lifelog retrieval competitions it participated in but also with additional user experiments. The result shows that the fast searching time of Myscéal is the system’s most important feature that helps it get some significant advantages in competitions. On the other hand, the findings from user experiments indicate that Myscéal still needs some improvements for novice users who are unfamiliar with how to interact with the system. Moreover, the user study plays a vital role in the development of Myscéal as many updates of this system came from the feedback of the participating users. We also demonstrate the efficacy of Myscéal as a lifelog retrieval system to help the lifeloggers, who capture their daily life in images, recall memorable moments in their massive lifelog archives.
