Abstract

BackgroundAnxiety disorders are common mental health issues that have a significant effect on people's quality of life. Conventional techniques for tracking emotional states frequently lack the accuracy and sensitivity needed for successful intervention.ObjectivesThis project aims to create a sophisticated monitoring system that uses deep learning methods to evaluate physiological data from wearables, emphasizing heart rate variability (HRV), to forecast patients' emotional states who suffer from anxiety disorders.MethodsWearable equipment monitors physiological characteristics, which we used to obtain patient HRV data. We processed the data using a Bidirectional Long-Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network to evaluate time-dependent variables and enhance the precision of emotional state predictions. The physiological signals were used to teach the model to recognize different emotional states, such as neutral, happy, and sad.ResultsOutperforming conventional machine learning models, the Bi-LSTM model showed a high accuracy rate of up to 97% in predicting emotional states. The findings suggest that ongoing HRV monitoring can accurately track shifts in emotional states and enable prompt responses.ConclusionThis work emphasizes the possibility of real-time emotional state monitoring in patients with anxiety disorders with wearable technology and deep learning. The results point to the potential benefits of this strategy for improving emotional regulation and improving anxiety sufferers' quality of life, opening new avenues for investigation and advancement in the field of mental health therapies.
