Precise sensors in detecting stress in workers in the industry: A review

Abstract

Stress in the work environment has an impact on worker welfare and industrial productivity. This paper reviews the use of precision sensors in detecting workers’ physiological responses to stress in industry. The focus is on sensors that measure heart rate, sweat rate, body temperature, muscle activity and sleep patterns. The wearable sensor is the main highlight. Despite implementation challenges, precision sensors offer the potential for real-time monitoring to create healthier and more productive work environments.
