Each participant was equipped with one high-quality laboratory sensor and two wearables, one of which being the Empatica E4. We evaluated this framework based on a study with 18 participants. We, therefore, developed a benchmark framework for physiological sensors that cover the entire workflow from sensor data acquisition to the computation and interpretation of diverse correlation and similarity metrics. In this paper, we demonstrate an approach to quantify the accuracy of low-cost wearables in comparison to high-quality laboratory sensors. In consequence, the quality and comparability of measurements from different devices is oftentimes not clear. Thus, it is oftentimes not clear how accurate measurements from wearables are compared to measurements from well-calibrated, high-quality laboratory equipment, apart from a formal comparison of technical specifications.
However, only a few research studies perform a stringent evaluation and comparison of wearable sensors, including their shortcomings, before carrying out a scientific study. A variety of scientific studies are based on physiological measurements from such rather low-cost wearables. Wearable sensors are increasingly used in research, as well as for personal and private purposes.

I feel like having both LED lights along the collar and cuffs and also along the sleeves would just give a better overall reading of the emotions to people around you.Ĭharara, S. They would change colour gradually not rapidly. Yellow would be happy and Pink would indicate excitement. Green would indicate that you were nervous. The lights would change colour according to the reading. When you sweat more, the electrical conductance in the skin changes. Sweat glands are tied to our nervous system and body processes like our immune system, so galvanic skin response can help tap into information about our current physiological and psychological state. This electrical conductivity is tied to changes in moisture levels in the skin when the sweat glands are more active. The lights would be controlled by galvanic skin response sensors on both hands. Galvanic skin response sensors are able to measure the electrical conductivity of the skin using electrodes. There would also be the same thing on both ends of the cuffs of the sleeves. The collar would go the whole way along either side of the zipper. The lights wouldn’t be very bright but just a way for people to see if the persons heart rate increases which would perhaps signal they are nervous or scared and maybe sometimes angry.Īlong with the lights the jacket also has an illuminated collar around the throat but it would not be very tight around the neck.
The lights would be linked through wires under the sleeves and join together with electrodes which would read the heart beat and send signals back to the lights to blink on and off. My final concept was that of a jacket which has LED lights going down along the sleeves which would blink on and off in sequence with your heart beat. I then thought of maybe a scarf but scraped the idea. I originally thought maybe a piece of jewelry like a mood ring or a necklace would be cool but when i thought of it more I realized that not everyone would wear jewelry. I tried to come up with a concept that would be somewhat wearable for the every day person but still a bit quirky. I went through a few ideas before I came to my final concept. Designing a concept for a wearable electronics project which shows your mood/emotion to people around you, was actually harder than I thought it was going to be.
