Abstract

Posture and stress are two critical factors affecting a person's physical and mental well-being. Proper posture and stress management can help avoid a range of health issues. Poor posture may result in chronic discomfort, decreased mobility, and an increased risk of musculoskeletal problems. Similarly, stress can negatively impact physical and mental health, contributing to conditions such as depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular disease. Traditional methods for assessing posture and stress, including physical examinations or self-reporting, can be subjective and time-consuming. Recent advances in machine learning and computer vision techniques have enabled the development of models that automatically detect posture and stress levels from video data. In this study, a Django framework was built that incorporates models to assess posture by calculating angles between tracked distance vectors. Stress levels are evaluated based on facial features and expressions. The use of skeleton data for human posture recognition is a key research area in human-computer interaction. By employing the MSR 3D Action Dataset, 33 key skeletal points on the body are detected, aiding in posture determination. Additionally, analyzing facial features and emotions is essential for estimating stress levels. The approach relies on convolutional neural networks.
