Collective stress visualisation

Stress is the primary cause among young adults and a leading factor in burnout-related symptoms among all employees in the Netherlands 

The project focuses on addressing the issue of raising awareness about stress levels and finding an alternative way of displaying data. The project consists of two main components: obtaining data from wearables and displaying stress levels to users.

Key findings highlight the importance of collective stress recognition and the effectiveness of passive, visually-oriented stress indicators. This led to the development of an animation featuring birds flying in different patterns corresponding to the level of collective stress measured by wearables.
