If persists for a longer period, stress can cause harmful effects on our body. The body sensors along with the concept of the Internet of Things can provide rich information about one’s mental and physical health.

Additionally, a CNN design that receives facial landmarks as input to take advantage of the fact that eye, mouth, and head movements are different from normal situations when a person is stressed.
