Momentary Stressor Logging and Reflective Visualizations: Implications for Stress Management with Wearables
CoRR(2024)
摘要
Commercial wearables from Fitbit, Garmin, and Whoop have recently introduced
real-time notifications based on detecting changes in physiological responses
indicating potential stress. In this paper, we investigate how these new
capabilities can be leveraged to improve stress management. We developed a
smartwatch app, a smartphone app, and a cloud service, and conducted a 100-day
field study with 122 participants who received prompts triggered by
physiological responses several times a day. They were asked whether they were
stressed, and if so, to log the most likely stressor. Each week, participants
received new visualizations of their data to self-reflect on patterns and
trends. Participants reported better awareness of their stressors, and
self-initiating fourteen kinds of behavioral changes to reduce stress in their
daily lives. Repeated self-reports over 14 weeks showed reductions in both
stress intensity (in 26,521 momentary ratings) and stress frequency (in 1,057
weekly surveys).
