Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid advancement of technology, smartwatches have emerged as an eye-catching accessory offering new and convenient features. In today’s fast-paced world where individuals lead hectic lives and work under immense pressure, fatigue often takes its toll on their bodies. In this study, we have developed an APP software that integrates the built-in heart rate detection function of the watch with our proprietary heart rate variability analysis program. The aim is to determine whether the user is experiencing fatigue. Once the APP software detects a high fatigue state, it immediately alerts the user. This innovative solution is expected to enhance the quality of life for individuals who may be unaware of their fatigue levels while working.
