Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Stress is detected using the EDA at baseline and after the stimulation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. Heart Rate (HR) is recorded using the E4WB at baseline and after the stimulation<br>2. Inter-beat interval duration (IBI) is recorded using the E4WB at baseline and after the stimulation<br>3. Electrodermal activity (EDA) is recorded using the E4WB at baseline and after the stimulation<br>4. 3-axis hand motion activity (Acc) is recorded using the E4WB at baseline and after the stimulation<br>5. Skin temperature (ST) data is recorded from the E4WB at baseline and after the stimulation<br>6. HR and heart rate variability (HRV) data is recorded from the Holter device at baseline and after the stimulation
