A HIGH workload triggers symptoms of stress. A person's stress level can be triggered by a variety of factors. Starting from the level of income, and workload, to other problems that were never imagined. Furthermore, excessive stress can cause depression and even mental disorders.
You don't have to worry. Take a look at the innovation designed by a group of University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) students who won the ASEAN Innovation Science and Entrepreneur Fair 2020 event at BG Junction Bubutan Surabaya, 14-16 February 2020.
The innovation that won the Silver Medal was entitled "Stress Reliever Therapy with Natural Music Chairs". This entrepreneurial-based technological innovation was designed by Dicky Marcellino Akbar, Ardi BC, Kholil Maharno, Hadi Purnomo, and Revaldo Yuanda.
This chair uses audio and Arduino (a computing platform) as well as proximity sensors to detect when the user sits down and the chair will automatically play music. While at certain centers on the chair, vibration is used with a vibration module and Arduino as therapy. "In fact, stress can also cause some problems in the body which are actually trivial, but quite disturbing," said Dicky Marcellino, one of the group members when interviewed, Monday (17/2).
When a person feels stressed, the body reads it as an attack or threat. A person protects himself, the body will produce various stress hormones, such as adrenaline, cortisol, and norepinephrine.
