OBJECTIVES
TO MAKE A STRESS METER

stress meter using skin resistances generally used to determine the

stress felt by a person.

if the stress is very high, it gives visual indication through a lightemitting diode (led) display along with a warning beep.

the gadget is based on the principle that the resistance of the skin
varies in accordance with our emotional states.

if the stress level is high the skin offers less resistance, and if the body
is relaxed the skin resistance is high. the low resistance of the skin
during high stress is due to an increase in the blood supply to the skin.

SCOPE
persons

muscle tension changes can be seen (with their

stress level applied by the muscle).

the

mental state of a person can be known (based upon

the changes in skin resistance).

it can be used as a lie detector.

it

can be used in physical fitness programs.

to

measure stress of blood pressure, and heart attack

patient.

used

for measurement of stress in students.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
patient

of blood pressure and heart attack needs

to be stay calm hence they need a device which
will indicate their stress level, so that they can
control themselve before reaching a critical level.

It

can be used by police,khoofiya agency as a lie

detector.

WORKING

the input power supply is a dc voltage source of , that is connected in parallel

with a capacitor that will provide a capacitance voltage whose positive end is
grounded.

the negative end of c1 is connected to the diode ,preventing high voltage

through the ic lm3914.

r is connected through one of the touch pad and it varies the input resistance
based upon the muscle strength and skin resistance and it is connected to the
LED, that provides load voltage to the ic.

integrated circuit that senses analogue voltage levels at its pin 5 and
displays them through leds providing a logarithmic analogue display.

it can drive up to leds one by one for each increment of voltage in the
input. led1 glows when input pin 5 of ic1 receives a fix voltage. led5
glows when the voltage rises to a fix voltage and led5 flashes and
piezobuzzer pz1 beeps when the stress level is high.

CONCLUSION

In this project the stress of a person can be determined by sensing

the skin resistance and muscle strength of that person. two probes are

used to sense the grip of that person. skin resistance changes the
emotional
state of the body. the grip of the person that is applied on the probe leads
the leds to glow accordingly from pin to pin .hence the stress levels of
that person can be determined by the oscillations of the led dot up and
down. .it is a very simple process and can be used as a lie detector ,skin
response meter etc.

thecircuitcan be assembled on a small piece of small board.

enclose thecircuitin a small plastic case with touch pads on the back side.
