Abstract
© 2017 IEEE. The human life becomes increasingly stressful and not everyone can manage his/her own life well. Most people are not aware of stress even though stress is a common illness that impacts on daily life, including family, relationships, and studying. Moreover, stress affects health, both physically and mentally at all ages. When people suffer from stress repeatedly, stress will turn to be multiple physical conditions and psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. iCare-stress application was created to assist a person to know his/her own state of stress and handle properly using the user's brainwave detected by Emotiv device. In addition, the application provides an interesting technique called Neurofeedback which is used to train human brain activity. Neurofeedback is widely accepted in medicinal studies to reduce the symptoms of many diseases. Therefore, it is chosen to be the technique to manage and reduce stress in the application. Moreover, there are three interventions for doing the different activities such as Concentration, Relaxation, and Music Therapy. In the case of measuring stress without the device, the application provides a set of questionnaire which is called General Health Questionnaire or GHQ that a user can apply to check his/her stress level. The result from both doing interventions and GHQ are shown in the form of human language that anyone can understand.
