What is it about?
The development of wearable technology has mostly focused on technical aspects, often ignoring what users actually want. This work introduces a plan to balance technical design with user preferences, making wearables much easier and more convenient to use.

Why is it important?
This work uses physical and chemical stress markers to guide the design of wearable stress sensors. By understanding how stress affects the body, designers can create devices that are both accurate and comfortable, making stress monitoring more practical and user-friendly.
Perspectives
You can design the best wearable device, but if users don't actually wear it, it defeats the purpose. In this project, we've balanced engineering design with user preferences to encourage wider adoption.
