Project Description

Occupational burnout — recognized by the World Health Organization as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress — is a growing public health concern with profound consequences for individual well-being and organizational sustainability. Conventional assessment relies almost exclusively on self-reported questionnaires, which are inherently subjective, prone to recall bias, and unable to capture the silent, cumulative physiological toll that chronic stress exerts on the body. There is a critical need for objective, continuous, and non-invasive monitoring tools that can detect early signs of burnout before irreversible damage occurs.

We are developing a wearable MEMS biosensor platform for the real-time, non-invasive tracking of physiological and biological markers associated with chronic stress and emotional exhaustion. We aim to generate predictive, explainable burnout-risk profiles — translating invisible physiological deterioration into actionable organizational intelligence for prevention and early intervention.
