Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system, method and software for determining a stress level of a person.
  • job stress can be defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Job stress can lead to poor health and even injury. Common complaints include loss of concentration, mood and sleep disturbances, upset stomach, and headache.
  • An important way to reduce the costs of stress and to improve the well-being of people at work is to detect in an early phase whether a person has stress.
  • measures can be taken on time, such as solving stressful working conditions or helping a person to cope with demanding job conditions.
  • a first known approach is to use self-report questionnaires. Still other known methods include interviews, or observations of a person, such as delayed reaction times or heightened tendency to procrastinate. In a more advanced stage the number of mental or physical complaints can be counted in order to determine the severity of these complaints.
  • stress is determined by measuring a physiological parameter of a person.
  • stress can be measured by determining the level of the hormone cortisol in the blood.
  • Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone that is involved in the response to stress.
  • WO2006/105085 A2 discloses measuring a breathing pattern of a person with a sensor and giving auditory or visual feedback corresponding to the relaxation pattern of the person.
  • the mentioned approaches all have drawbacks for the person-under-test.
  • he or she must explicitly do a test that is not a natural part of his or her daily life.
  • the person is subjected to tests that only a professional can do. In some cases this means that the person-under-test must even go to a laboratory or a professional infrastructure like a laboratory to be subjected to testing.
  • the person may have suffered from stress for a longer time and complaints may have become severe enough to need actual professional intervention.
  • a system for determining a stress level of a person based on the performance of the person in a game or puzzle.
  • a calibration phase the performance of the person in a game or puzzle is measured and information is stored linking the performance to a given stress level of the person when playing the game or puzzle.
  • an operational phase the performance of the person in the game or puzzle is measured, again.
  • the stress level of the person is determined based on the measured performance and the information stored in the calibration phase.
  • the game-based test according to the invention is easier accessible to a person than tests needing professional tools. By integrating the stress test in a pleasant and normal activity like playing a game, people are likely to be less disturbed. For this reason, the test results are likely to better reflect a person's condition. Furthermore, playing a game not only is a means to detect the stress level, but at the same time may help to reduce stress, to relax, to increase concentration, to reduce mental fatigue, and to make the person's memory function better as is described in more detail in the co-pending patent application EP 06124905.8.
  • the invention can be applied in any environment where people suffer from stress. It can be used at home, but also in the office environment in order to detect and reduce stress and to improve the mental health of workers.
  • the game-based test according to the invention preferably is complementary to known tests that need professional tools.
  • the steps of measuring the performance of the person in the game or puzzle and storing information linking the performance to a given stress level of the person are executed a plurality of times.
  • the calibration phase may last for a month during which the person repeatedly plays games, for example once a day.
  • the system measures the person's performance at each game, and relates this to the given level of experienced stress of the person. In this way the system can calculate the person's average game performance for each experienced stress level.
  • the system preferably is adapted for receiving an indication from the person of the given stress level in the calibration phase. In this way, the given stress level is obtained in a very easy way without the need of any additional equipment.
  • the system is adapted for measuring the given stress level in the calibration phase.
  • the given stress level may be measured by measuring a physiological parameter of the person, which is indicative of stress, in a known way. Examples are the body temperature or Galvanic Skin Response.
  • the system needs to be provided with or connected to suitable sensors.
  • the system is adapted for executing the calibration phase initially and repeating it, periodically.
  • the calibration phase may be repeated every few weeks or months to keep track of learning and experience effects.
  • the system is adapted for performing an action towards the person if the determined stress level in the operation phase is high. Since, according to experts short-lived or infrequent episodes of stress pose little risk, preferably the action towards the person is not performed in case of an incidental high stress measurement but only if the determined stress level in the operation phase is high over a period of time.
  • the action towards the person may be the generation of an alert for the person.
  • the system may inform the person of the continued high stress level and it may be suggested to take measures or to contact a professional for further tests or advise.
  • the action is providing distraction to the person.
  • the distraction aims to relax the person. It may be inviting the person to play a different game which is more relaxing than the game that is used for stress determination, to show relaxing pictures or to play relaxing music or to generate certain scents, etc.
  • the system is adapted for inviting the person to play the game or puzzle in time slots with a similar activity level of the person.
  • This is preferably a “low stress” time slot because it is easier to detect a low performance in a “low stress” time slot than in a “high stress” time slot.
  • the time slots with similar activity level may be at a similar time of the day, for example right after lunch.
  • the system may use known games to determine the stress or special games may be designed for this purpose.
  • the game is a word memory game comprising neutral words and emotional words. Research has revealed that in a normal, i.e. non-stressed population the emotional words should be recalled better. However, this is not the case for people experiencing stress. They recall fewer emotional words, whereas their performance on recall of neutral words is not deterred. So, the person's performance in this game can be used to determine his/her stress level.
  • the game is having the person naming colors in which words are printed.
  • the word list will be chosen to include “neutral” as well as “highly relevant” words. These “highly relevant” words should be in the domain of the “work related stress”. In case that the person is stressed the reaction times for naming the color will be longer for the highly relevant words.
  • a method for determining a stress level of a person based on the performance of the person in a game or puzzle comprising the following steps:
  • the method according to the invention is implemented by means of a computer program.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of the steps that are executed during the calibration phase in an embodiment of the system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flow chart of the steps that are executed during the operational phase in an embodiment of the system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of game performance as a function of time.
  • FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 the steps that are executed during the calibration phase in an embodiment of the system according to the invention will be described.
  • the system Before the system can determine a person's stress level via his/her game performance, it should be calibrated. This is due to the fact that every person performs differently under different levels of stress.
  • a possible way to calibrate is to let the person repeatedly play games over a sufficiently long period of time, for example once a day during a month and to let the user indicate the amount of stress experienced before the start of each game.
  • the system measures the person's performance at each game, and relates this to the amount of experienced stress as indicated by the person. In this way the system can calculate the person's average game performance or score for each experienced stress level. For example, the person reaches an average score of 800 points in the “no stress” situation, 600 points at “medium stress”, and 400 points at “high stress”.
  • step 110 it is determined in step 110 if it is time to perform a calibration measurement. If it is not, step 110 is repeated. If it is time for a calibration measurement, in step 120 the person is requested to indicate the amount of stress experienced before starting to play the game. For example, the person may be prompted to indicate if he/she has no stress, medium stress or high stress. Alternatively, the level of stress may be measured by measuring a physiological parameter of the person, which is indicative of stress, in a known way. Examples are the body temperature or Galvanic Skin Response. Thereto the system needs to be provided with or connected to suitable sensors.
  • step 130 the person plays the game.
  • step 140 the game performance or score is determined.
  • various game performance indicators may be used. Depending on the game, the following performance indicators are useful (but other indicators may be useful as well): the score (i.e. number of points) in a game
  • performance indicators can be used both for calibrating the system, and for detecting stress in the subsequent operational phase, that will be described herein after.
  • step 150 the measured performance is linked to the stress level that the person indicated in step 120 and both these parameters are stored.
  • step 160 the system checks if there are more calibration measurements needed. If this is the case the system loops back to step 110 . If not, the calibration phase is finished in step 170 . In this way, the system builds up a table linking game performance scores and stress levels.
  • the system can in a so called operational phase relate the performance of this person in a game session to his/her calculated average score for each experienced stress level. This is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • step 210 After initialization (step 200 ) it is determined in step 210 if it is time to determine the stress level of the person. If this is the case, the system invites the person to play the same game that was played during the calibration phase. This game is played by the person in step 220 . After the game the person's performance is determined (step 230 ) and stored (step 240 ). In step 250 it is determined if an action should be taken towards the person. If the performance stored in step 240 correspond to medium or high stress for a longer period of time (e.g. during a week), the system determines that action should be taken. An example of such a situation is shown in FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 shows the performance (P) as a function of time (t).
  • Area 310 corresponds to scores that were measured during the calibration period when the person indicated that he/she had no stress.
  • Area 320 corresponds to scores that were been measured during the calibration period when the person indicated that he/she had medium stress.
  • Area 330 (the lowest performances) corresponds to scores that were measured during the calibration period when the person indicated that he/she had high stress.
  • FIG. 3 shows 8 scores that were measured in the operational phase, i.e. after the system was calibrated. The first 4 scores in the upper area indicate that the person had no stress at these moments. However, the next 4 scores in the lower area suggest that the person had high stress.
  • the system may inform the person about his/her high stress level and may suggest to take measures or to contact a professional for further tests and advise. Note that the system need not inform the person about an incidental performance that may indicate stress.
  • the system may provide distraction to the person. The distraction aims to relax the person. For example, the person may be invited to play a different game which is more relaxing than the game that is used for stress determination, to show relaxing pictures or to play relaxing music or to generate certain scents, as is described in more detail in the co-pending patent application EP 06124905.8.
  • step 270 it is determined if calibration measurement(s) should be repeated. If this is the case, steps 120 - 160 of FIG. 1 are executed, again. If not, the system loops back to step 210 .
  • the calibration should be repeated every few weeks or months in order to keep track of learning and experience effects.
  • the person's electronic calendar and/or to do list can be used by the system to determine the best time for both the calibration measurements as well as the measurements during the operational phase.
  • the same calendars can also be used to find high stress times, which can be interrupted by games to avoid build-up of stress.
  • Any type of game may be used in the system according to the present invention. However, it is preferred to use games derived from known psychological tests for the purpose of measuring stress. These games will be more resistant to factors of boredom or experience. A different type of game may be used to play in order to relax, have fun, and provide a mental break from continued pressure.
  • a game can be devised in which people have to learn a list of words that they have to recall later that day or the next day. This list of words can be set up such that it contains neutral as well as emotional words (negative and positive). Neutral words could be words like window, forest, mountain, buildings, kangaroo, etc. So any word that is not related to the stressful situation. In case that the stressful situation is work, emotional words could be: traffic-jam, computer, deadline, presentation, report, meeting, stress, colleagues, lunch, coffee-break, etc. So any word that reasonably is related to work. The human mind protects itself from threats by a number of mechanisms.
  • One of the mechanisms is selective memory.
  • humans tend to block the words that arouse negatively, like the emotional words, even when they might be positive like coffee-break or lunch.
  • the emotional words should be recalled better. However, this is not the case for people experiencing stress. Fewer emotional words should be recalled, whereas performance on recall of neutral words should not be deterred. See, for a more details on the relationship between stress and memory retrieval “Impaired memory retrieval after psychosocial stress in healthy young men (2005)” by. Kuhlmann, S., Piel, M. and Wolf, O. T. Journal of Neuroscience, 25(11). 2977-2982.
  • a Stroop task could be to have the person name the colors in which words are printed.
  • the word list will be chosen to include “neutral” as well as “highly relevant” words. These “highly relevant” words should be in the domain of the psychopathology, which in the present case is “work related stress”. When a person has a certain pathology, words related to that pathology momentarily over-arouse that person.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary computer system 400 for implementing the steps according to FIG. 1 . It shows a processor 410 , a memory 420 , a display 430 , an input means 440 , which may be a keyboard and a mouse, and communication means 450 .
  • the processor 410 executes instructions stored in the memory 420 , for executing the steps shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the input means 440 are used to control the game.
  • the communication means 450 can be used for exchanging information with external systems (e.g. for adding new games).
  • the display 430 is used to show the game to the person, to inform the person about his/her game performance, and (if needed) suggest the person to take measures or to contact a professional for further tests and advise.
  • the invention can be resumed as follows: A system and a method for determining a stress level of a person based on the performance of the person in a game or puzzle.
  • a calibration phase the person is asked to judge his/her currently experienced stress level and the person is asked to play a game or puzzle resulting in a certain performance score.
  • the system links the indicated stress level and the performance score. By repeating these steps a number of times, the system builds a table linking game performance scores and stress levels.
  • the calibration phase will be executed initially and once every while to keep the system calibrated.
  • the person is occasionally asked to play the game. Then, based on the current performance score and on the table assembled in the calibration phase, the system determines the current stress level. Depending on the level, and on the period over which the level continues, the system may undertake some action, such as alerting the person or providing distraction.
