Arjun Jaggi’s Wearable Uses Machine Learning to Monitor Anxiety and Provide Real-Time Stress Support

[San Diego, California, United States] – Arjun Jaggi has been granted design patent (6405257) by the UK Intellectual Property Office for “AI Device for Anxiety Prediction,” a revolutionary wearable technology aimed at enhancing mental wellness. The technology was recently presented at the IEEE International Conference on Augmented Reality, Intelligent Systems, and Industrial Automation (ARIIA-2024) in a presentation titled “AI for Anxiety Relief: Revolutionizing Healthcare with Intelligent Solutions.” The invitation came from Dr. Nithesh Naik, a Top 2% Highly Cited Scientist by Stanford University (Elsevier B.V), who currently serves as a CTO of Curiouz TechLab Private Limited and coordinates the Intel Unnanti Artificial Intelligence Data Centric labs at MIT, Manipal. This collaboration underscores the significance of the work in addressing the silent epidemic of anxiety.

At the conference, the device was presented alongside a new mindful breathing app offering guided ancient breathing techniques like Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom. This application provides step-by-step instructions and visual cues, integrating with the AI device to recommend techniques based on the user’s anxiety levels and physiological state.

Addressing Workplace Anxiety

Workplace anxiety, particularly in demanding environments like healthcare settings, has emerged as a critical concern affecting employee well-being, productivity, and healthcare costs. Traditional anxiety management tools often fail to capture the real-time nature of stress patterns. This innovative device bridges this gap by using advanced machine learning algorithms to monitor, analyze, and predict anxiety levels in real-time.

Design and Functionality

The AI Device for Anxiety Prediction captures physiological and behavioral indicators, including heart rate variability, skin conductance, and movement patterns, to detect early signs of anxiety. This wearable technology provides real-time alerts, actionable insights, and personalized interventions to help users manage stress more effectively.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Real-Time Anxiety Prediction: Uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms to predict anxiety levels with precision, enabling immediate support and intervention.
2. Adaptive Learning System: Personalizes analysis over time, adapting to each user’s unique baseline stress levels and identifying patterns specific to high-stress scenarios.
3. Contextual Stress Analysis: Assesses the work environment, including factors such as noise levels and workload, contextualizing anxiety data based on situational demands.
4. Intervention Alerts: Offers proactive, personalized notifications and suggestions to reduce stress, such as recommending deep breathing exercises or suggesting short breaks.

Broader Impact

The implications of the device extend beyond individual workplaces to broader public health goals. By providing organizations and state governments with tools to monitor mental health proactively, they can foster healthier environments that enhance productivity while reducing healthcare costs associated with untreated mental health issues.

The technology also addresses current trends such as remote work and technostress—stress induced by technology—which have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additional Features

• Workload Management: Optimizes workloads and schedules, reducing

workplace stress by evenly distributing tasks and setting realistic deadlines.

• Anonymity and Confidentiality: Provides a safe and confidential space for employees to seek help, reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues.
• Sentiment Analysis: Leverages AI coupled with sentiment analysis to better understand how employees think and feel, categorizing emotions and offering targeted wellness recommendations.

Impact and Future Outlook

“This patent validates our commitment to innovation and our mission to improve mental health,” said Arjun Jaggi. “Our AI Device for Anxiety Prediction is a significant step

forward in addressing the critical issue of anxiety while ensuring a healthier and more productive society.
