PROCESSOR FOR PROCESSING SKIN CONDUCTANCE DATA AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AT LEAST ONE STAGE OF BURNOUT AND/OR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME OF LIVING BEING Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B5/53 A61B5/16 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: data processing method is carried out using a device for detecting the stages of the stress state of a living being. Device comprises a measuring unit for measuring skin conductance data over a period of time and processor (10) for processing skin conductance data of a living being. Processor comprises input unit (12) for receiving skin conductance data signal (13) comprising data peaks, computing unit (14) and analysing unit (16). Computing unit (14) computes a skin conductance peak data signal over a period of one day by deriving a feature related to said data peaks and forming a summation of said feature per time unit. Analysing unit (16) analyses an average and/or an absolute value of the skin conductance peak data signal over a portion of said period to get information on at least one stage of the stressed state of the living being. Analysing unit (16) is configured to compare the average and / or absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal against two different thresholds. Output unit (17) is configured to output a signal at the stage of full development of the stress state, recovery stage signal and a healthy state signal. Full development signal when the average value and / or absolute value of the skin conductance peak data signal decreases below the lower threshold value after it has exceeded the upper threshold value. Said recovery stage signal, when the average value and / or absolute value of the skin conductance peak data signal increases towards the lower threshold value and / or exceeds it without exceeding the upper threshold value after the stage of full development of a predetermined stress state. Health signal when the average value and / or absolute value of the skin conductance peak data signal is higher than the lower threshold value and lower than the upper threshold value.

EFFECT: early and reliable detection of a developing burnout syndrome and / or chronic fatigue syndrome in a living being is achieved in such a way that an appropriate warning can be issued.
