stressnumbers
Stressnumbers is a term used to describe numerical indicators intended to quantify stress intensity or burden. They are not a single universal measure; rather, they describe a class of composite scores derived from physiological data, self-report, and contextual information. The goal is to enable comparison across individuals, time, or situations.
A typical stressnumber combines signals such as heart rate variability, skin conductance, respiration rate, hormonal markers,
Applications of stressnumbers span several fields. In occupational health, they can help identify high-burden periods and
Limitations include the lack of standardization, which leads to different systems producing different scales and limits
