Description

Anushka Phadke, Khawlah Harasheh, and Satinder Gill present a wearable device for sensing pain and stress in an objective way, in a paper from two thousand twenty-five. Patients who cannot communicate still feel pain. Clinicians must guess at how much of it they bear. Skin conductance, the galvanic skin response, gives a physiological window on that pain.

Devices in use lack wireless links and live feedback. They also lack robustness when the user moves about. The prototype mounts finger electrodes and signal processing in a 3D-printed wrist enclosure. Bluetooth Low Energy streams the data out. A custom interface filters out movement artifacts, and a rechargeable battery powers the whole unit. Tests on two healthy volunteers detected stress-driven skin responses with less artifact than the old tools gave. The team casts the design as a low-cost step toward objective monitoring for non-communicative patients.
