Building wearable monitors and software for stress research in everyday life
Studying physiological responses to stress requires reliable recordings beyond the laboratory. Movement and changing conditions can distort wearable measurements, while electrode-based monitoring requires expert setup. Researchers must balance data quality with participant comfort.
VU Ambulatory Monitoring Solutions develops wearable monitors and analysis software for stress research. Its chest-worn VU-AMS Core records physiological and activity signals, helping researchers study autonomic responses in the lab and daily life.
