What if your body could reveal stress before you even realize you’re anxious ? In this STEM Club project, students explore how invisible body signals — like sweat, electrical resistance, and data — can be transformed into tools for early health detection. Using the same principles behind smartwatches, mental health apps, and clinical studies, students build and test a Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensor to investigate how stress and anxiety show up in the body.

Galvanic Skin Response CODE
This program turns the micro:bit into a personalised stress monitor using Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) — a physiological signal that changes with emotional arousal, mental effort, and relaxation.
This project transforms micro:bits into a wireless cough-detection and outbreak-alert system, inspired by real-world respiratory monitoring tools such as smart inhalers and sleep-apnea monitors.
