Abstract

In today’s growing world, we often overlook the need of paying heed to the health of some of the most important constituents of our body viz., mental health. This might be due to working hours, which do not allow a person to pay due attention that this facility desires, this in turn may lead to a lot of disorders such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and anxiety disorder remaining un-diagnosed which may cause further health complications. Hence, it is the need of the hour to make available a solution so as to enable the people to get themselves diagnosed within a short span of time at their own convenience and from the comfort of their homes. KnowStress has been developed with the aim of improving access to mental health resources for those who lack access to conventional support and to help people explore how technology can be used to improve general wellbeing. KnowStress provides diagnostic tests for screening stress and stress-related disorders by using well known tests and tools that are used by medical professionals. Our proposed model utilises the K-means clustering algorithm to categorise an individual’s responses into the groups of “low stress”, “bipolar disorder”, “PTSD” and “ADHD / GAD” with a validation accuracy of 88.86%.
