A member asked:
Is there a way to biologicaly measure stress levels? if so how? samsung s health seems to be able to but i dont know how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
