The stress response allows the body to overcome obstacles and prepare for threats, but sustained levels of stress can damage one's health. Stress has long been measured through physical tests and questionnaires that rely primarily on user-inputted data, which can be subjective and inaccurate. To quantify the amount of stress that the body is experiencing biologically, analytical detection of biomarkers associated with the stress response recently have been developed. Novel stress sensing devices focus on cortisol sweat sensing as a part of wearable, flexible devices. These devices promise a real-time, continuous collection of stress data that can be used in clinical diagnoses or for personal stress monitoring and mediation.
应激反应使身体能够克服障碍并为应对威胁做好准备，但持续的压力水平会损害健康。长期以来，压力一直通过主要依赖用户输入数据的身体测试和问卷来衡量，这些数据可能主观且不准确。为了从生物学角度量化身体所经历的压力程度，最近已开发出与应激反应相关生物标志物的分析检测方法。新型压力传感设备专注于将皮质醇汗液传感作为可穿戴柔性设备的一部分。这些设备有望实时、持续地收集压力数据，可用于临床诊断或个人压力监测与调节。
