Patients suffering from a stress- or anxiety-related disorder such as PTSD may utilize wearable/portable sensor and computing technology, e.g., implemented with a smartwatch or smartphone augmented by heartbeat sensors, to continuously monitor their heartbeat data to automatically detect high-stress episodes and take some mitigating action (e.g., alerting the patient, contacting designated persons, or providing stress-reducing exercises and/or content).
