dStress Discovery

dStress Discovery is a comprehensive tool designed to provide insights into user stress levels. It begins with a questionnaire, where users rate their stress in five key areas: Emotional Tension, Physical Strain, Cognitive Load, Mood Disruption, and Sleep Disruption, each on a scale of 0-5. This is complemented by inputs on various stress symptoms like difficulty sleeping, headaches, low energy, irritability, and muscle pains. Users can also provide additional context to further personalize the results.

​

The feature will calculate an overall stress score by summing the category scores and considers the additional context to offer personalized advice. The results are presented on a summary page, displaying the unique stress score and integrating these into the main page's bar chart for a visual representation of stress trends over time. Secure data handling ensures that each session's scores and advice are stored and easily accessible for review. This feature quantifies stress and guides users towards effective stress management strategies, tailored to their specific experiences and symptoms. Once a Stress Score is created, users can instantly launch a chat with the dStress Team to talk through the results and recommendations.
