Inventors include Ms. Ambika Assistant Professor; Sangeetha D Mrncs; Preethi B Mrncs; and Meghana G Assistant Professor.

The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a real-time driver stress detection system based on physiological signal acquisition and mobile application integration. The system comprises a steering wheel embedded with a pulse sensor and a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor configured to continuously monitor driver heart rate and skin conductance. A microcontroller processes the collected signals and transmits the data to a mobile application using wireless communication. The mobile application performs stress analysis, classifies stress levels, and generates alerts when abnormal stress conditions are detected. The system supports multi-level stress classification, personalized baseline calibration, and real-time notification mechanisms. The invention provides a cost-effective, scalable, and user-friendly solution for improving driver safety by addressing stress-induced driving risks.
