Abstract

Stress detection is being increasingly identified as a significant aspect of mental health evaluation and treatment, especially in a time when digital health technologies are developing fast. This book chapter gives an extensive overview of machine learning-based stress detection approaches with emphasis on the combination of physiological signals (e.g., heart rate variability, and skin conductance) and contextual information (e.g., activity levels and environmental stimuli). The research utilizes a multi model strategy, encompassing support vector machines (SVMs), random forests (RFs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, to attain consistent and trustworthy classification of stress levels. Particular stress is given to the interpretability of the model, the applicability of the solution in real time, and ethics involved in deploying AI solutions for sensitive mental health surveillance. The chapter further addresses challenges related to dataset collection, labeling, and privacy, as well as mechanisms to improve the system continuously through feedback loops [1]. The results enhance the emerging domain of affective computing and illustrate the capabilities of intelligent systems in facilitating early identification and tailored mental healthcare.
