AHFE Open AccessExploring the potentials of wearable devices in research on wellbeing and stress in workplaces
Abstract
Work-related wellbeing and stress are major research issues nowadays. Stress at work affects employee’s mental and physical health and reduces productivity. Since the definitions of stress and wellbeing are various, different strategies to investigate the problem and promote solutions have been taken. This study was developed within the innovation ecosystem MUSA (Multilayered Urban Sustainability Action) in the challenge of Spoke 2, Big Data-Open Data in Life Sciences, which aims to create solutions for the collection, conservation, and process of big data to improve lifestyle, prevention, and treatment. The study is grounded on the requirement to meet the complexity of stress and wellbeing conditions, therefore integrating qualitative (EMA questionnaire diary) with quantitative (wearable device Fitbit) data. This article presents the preliminary studies with the principles and recommendations leading to the final design of the experiments included in the research.
