Stress Meter

Guided by D.RAJU (Asst.Professor)


BY G.PRIYANKA G.SAIJA SK.NAZNEEN

Stress is a term that refers to the sum of the physical, mental, and emotional strains or tensions on a person.

Page 2

Principle..

The resistance of the skin varies in accordance with your emotional states.
If stress level is high the skin offers less resistance, and if relaxed, resistance is high.

Page 3

Cont..

If the stress is very high, it gives visual indication through LED display along with a warning beep.
piezobuzzer PZ1 beeps when the stress level is high.

CIRCUIT DISCRIPTION:

Voltage variations from the sensing pads are amplified by transistor BC548 (T1) By varying VR1, the sensitivity of T1 can be adjusted to the desired level.

Diode D1 maintains proper biasing of T1 and capacitor C1 keeps the voltage from the emitter of T1 steady.

Cont.....

The amplified signal from transistor T1 is given to the input of IC LM3915 (IC1) through VR2

LED1 glows when input pin 5 of IC1 receives 150 mV.


Resistors R4 and R5 and capacitor C2 form the flashing elements. Resistor R3 maintains the LED current at around 20 mA.

Cont.....

Capacitor C3 should be placed close to pin 3 for


proper functioning of the IC.
Zener diode ZD1 provides regulated 5V to the circuit.

Use transparent 3mm LEDs and a small piezobuzzer for audio-visual indications.
Adjust VR2 if the sensitivity of IC1 is very high.

Cont.....
Here, we have used only five LEDs connected at pins 14 through 18 of IC1. LED1 glows when input pin 5 of IC1 receives 150 mV. LED 5 glows when the voltage rises to 650 mV and LED 5 flashes and piezobuzzer PZ1 beeps when the stress level is high.

IC LM3915

The LM3915s 3 dB/step display is suited for signals with wide dynamic range, such as audio level, power, light intensity or vibration

Features:

3 dB/step, 30 dB range

Drives LEDs, LCDs, or vacuum fluorescents


Bar or dot display mode externally selectable by user

Expandable to displays of 90 dB
Internal voltage reference from 1.2V to 12V Operates with single supply of 3V to 25V Inputs operate down to ground

Piezo Buzzer

Piezoelectric diaphragm is a basic electronic sound component These devices contain no electronics, and require external circuitry to produce an audible tone

TOUCH PADS:

Touch pads are used to make contact with the skin. It can be two small Aluminum sheets.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE

LED is a semicomductor Light source. This are used as indicator Lamps in many devices.

Applications.....

As a simple LED METER

As a signal level indicator


In peak detectors Light, Audio and Power meters Multiple devices can be cascaded for a dot/bar mode display with a range of 60or 90 dB. LM 3915s can also be cascaded with LM 3914s for a linear/log display or with LM3916 for an extended rage VU meters

In this project, stress meter indicates the stress level of a human being based on ones skin resistance on a scale of 10. The circuit uses the IC LM3915 which is a dot/bar display driver which can easily drive 10 LEDs with a suggested input voltage.

Future Scope
This includes addition of a voice recording and playback device. This can be included instead of a piezo buzzer used in the circuit.
The playback device can give various instructions to reduce stress of the subject, initially recorded by a medical professional.
