About Stress Monitor

Stress Monitor is a global initiative to visualize and understand mental health trends through aggregated biometric data. By collecting anonymous stress indicators from Apple Watch users worldwide, we create a real-time heatmap of global stress levels.

Data Methodology

Our data is derived from Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and resting heart rate metrics, processed through our proprietary algorithms to determine a "Stress Score" from 0 to 100.

0-20: High Stress / Overload
20-50: Moderate Stress
50-80: Normal / Balanced
80-100: Relaxed / Great State

Privacy & Transparency

We prioritize privacy. Individual user data is never shared publicly. The data shown on this map is heavily aggregated by Country (Global view) and US State (USA view). A minimum threshold of users is required for a region to be displayed to ensure anonymity.

For Researchers

This dataset is available for public research. We believe in open data to foster mental health awareness. If you use this data in your publication, please cite "Stress Monitor LTD".
