Unfortunately not: No lab or vital sign measurement (Samsung just measures your heart rate) can diagnose or measure psychological stress by itself. Heart rate varies quite a lot between individuals and within an individual during different activities, with temperature, with hydration...
Best way to diagnose stress is to discuss with a councilor or a physician.
