Personalized Emotion Detection using IoT and Machine Learning

The Medical Internet of Things, a recent technological advancement in medicine, is incredibly helpful in providing real-time monitoring of health metrics. This paper presents a non-invasive IoT system that tracks patients' emotions, especially those with an autism spectrum disorder. With a few affordable sensors and cloud computing services, the individual's heart rates are monitored and analyzed to study the effects of change in sweat and heartbeats per minute for different emotions. Under normal resting conditions of the individual, the proposed system could detect the right emotion using machine learning algorithms with a performance of up to 92% accuracy. The result of the proposed approach is comparable with the state-of-the-art solutions in medical IoT.
