Title: Development of an automated stress/duress detection system, Phase I and Phase II. Summary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5649711

This study showed that remote analysis of heart rate has potential as an effective means for automatic detection of stress in guards. The analysis of the data suggests that a heart rate greater than either CHR (criterion heart rate) + 20% (as established in the exercise test) or 150 bpm is the best criterion for initial establishment of alarm criteria.
