What are the most effective ways to use technology for stress management interventions?

Somatic body awareness coaching can help with: - noticing the physical open or closed response of stress triggers - identifying the thought, belief or perspective driving the closed triggered response - seeking wisdom, truth and clarity to resolve or dissolve the stress response - finding ways to be "equal-to" the situation instead of defaulting to plus (fight) or minus (flight or freeze). I coach and teach InnerLifeSkills methods to do this, and use technology (LMS) with AI to educate our accredited Certifications.

First, we’ve got to stop the pattern. If we’re ‘stressing out’, it generally means that we’re having unhelpful thoughts or emotions. They are usually unconscious. Generally the first step is to realize it & admit that there is an internal component. Often we’re too fixated on the outside situation to recognize that our interior landscape requires tending. Once we reorient, asking the question “what’s really going on here?” Can get to the bottom of our struggle. We find that we’re afraid, or angry, or frustrated. looking closely, we might discover that fear is causing tension in the shoulders, or causing a pit in the stomach. We now have an area to focus on with our relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness practices!

The simplest one is to turn it off! Focusing on technology tools requires adrenalin. That is one of the roles of adrenalin in our body, is to help us focus. We don't want this turned on as much as we do, in this day and age.

In my experience, Incorporating technology into stress management interventions can be highly effective and one such means is online therapy sessions or say Teletherapy. Providing remote counseling or therapy sessions through video conferencing platforms can be helpful as it takes care of the aspect of the need for in-person appointments, making it especially accessible for those with busy schedules or limited mobility.

Stress is neither a good nor a bad concept, but it is a force that can be used to create or destroy. Stress builds character, muscle, machines, relationships, yet it can also slowly destroy your life if you are constantly in a state of stress. Stress management comes from knowing : - What stress is and where it’s coming from - How much do I need for the life I want? - How to reverse stress impacts through recovery tools such as breathwork, grounding, community, etc. It is within this framework of understanding of what stress is and how to use it that you can effectively “manage” the stress in your life. You choose what stress you want (work, exercise, self-discipline) and reduce what you don’t (toxic friends, bad job, etc)

Well, here I totally suggest human interaction and support. You can solve a lot if things with technology, but we speak about stress we speak about people ?? I recommend coaching, psychologist and more human interaction ??

Technology can only be useful when it helps you empty your mind and move on. If it becomes a stress or an escape, (which it so often does) it simply fuels the fire.

Utilizing a mindful app such as Insight Timer (which I personally use for meditation and am also honored to teach on) is an incredible way to use technology for stress management intervention. This platform allows you access to thousands of teachers, meditations, and stress-management courses.

I wouldn't advise my clients to use (even more) technology to relieve stress. On the contrary. The ever-increasing screen time is yet another stress amplifier. Guided meditations or relaxations (PMR, Bodyscan...) as soundfiles are the only exception.

I suggest to keep it really simple. Tech can be a huge stressor in itself. Using video tech is a great base to begin as you can bring experts into the comfort of you own home to guide you through stress release. There is a time and place for apps, watches etc as tools, however never loose site of the human connection s an integral part of stress management. Chat to a robot or a person - you decide.

To be honest, I think your best bet is to limit your use of tech. I’d suggest using your tech for e-learning a topic like meditation, and then take whatever your learn into the woods, or a quiet sunlit corner of your home. You do not need a wearable to measure your brainwaves while you meditate. You don’t need to stare at peaceful asmr fractals. After a couple weeks, you won’t even need the headspace app. E-Learning is amazing. Learn what you need to learn with the best teachers in the world, and then shut your screen and take a walk or have a sit.

YouTube has a wide range of cheep and free meditations that are easily accessible. The Tapping app also has a small range of free features.

CALTECH in 2024 reports “stress comes in many different forms & stimulates a complex response affecting many different bodily systems, interpreting a wealth of data accurately is key to the usefulness of CARES & other sensors. Experiments inducing stress in subjects wearing the CARES device demonstrated that the sensor accurately measures the interrelatedness of physiological ( eg. pulse) & chemical (such as glucose) biomarkers. Subjects also answered questionnaires to self-report their feelings of anxiety & psychological stress before & after exposure to stressful situations like vigorous exercise or intense video gameplay. Data showed clear correlations between self-reports of stress & its physicochemical correlates as measured by CARES.”

Other apps, such as Reframe, can help you examine one’s “go to” ways to reduce stress (i.e., drinking alcohol) that might actually backfire and in the long run add more stress and hardship to one’s life.

Esta metodología mejora la gestión del estrés, la resiliencia y promueve un entorno laboral saludable, contribuyendo al éxito organizacional.

Notice your own state of mind. If you feel drained, unmotivated, more agitated or upset, it simply cannot be helpful. If it contributes to positivity and productivity you may enjoy it's help. But if it feels like another "thing to do" it is counterproductive.

établir des objectifs clairs : Définissez clairement les objectifs que vous souhaitez atteindre grace à l'intervention technologique, tels que la réduction du niveau de stress, l'amélioration du bien-être mental, ou l'augmentation de la résilience. Utiliser des outils d'auto-évaluation : Mesurez vos progrès et vos résultats à l'aide d'outils d'auto-évaluation, tels que des questionnaires, des sondages ou des journaux intimes. Cela vous permettra de suivre votre évolution au fil du temps et d'identifier les domaines où des améliorations sont nécessaires. Vérifier les preuves scientifiques : Assurez-vous que les interventions de gestion du stress sont basées sur des recherches scientifiques solides.

Je conseille aux personnes que j'accompagne sur la question de la gestion du stress de prendre du recul sur leurs ressentis. Quels ressentis corporels ont-elles ? Quelles pensées ont elles quand elles sont stressées ? Lorsque le stress est moindre sont ils toujours présents ? Il est également intéressant de leur proposer de mesurer l'intensité de leur stress sur une échelle de 0 à 10 (0 pas du tout de stress, 10 un stress excessif) avant et après l'exercice

HeartMath. Herramienta tecnologia de biofeedback en tiempo real. La coherencia cardíaca es un estado fisiológico en el cual el ritmo del corazón se vuelve ordenado, regular y armónico. Este estado se logra cuando la variabilidad del ritmo cardíaco (VRC) exhibe un patrón específico, con ondas suaves y regulares, que refleja una comunicación eficiente entre el corazón, el cerebro y el sistema nervioso autónomo. Cuando practicamos la coherencia cardíaca, generalmente mediante técnicas de respiración específicas y centrando nuestra atención en emociones positivas o pensamientos gratificantes, podemos inducir este estado de equilibrio en nuestro cuerpo. Beneficios como la reducción del estrés, y aumento del rendimiento cognitivo.

Mi postura sobre el estrés es la de ser preventivo, más que correctivo. De ahí mi reflexión sobre el uso de tecnologías para identificar y contener el estrés. Un primer paso para las empresas es, estadísticamente hablando, identificar cuantitativamente el nivel de estrés laboral y su fuente, el riesgo psicosocial causante. Establecida la correlación, dise?ar un programa de contención. El uso de programas como el SPSS puede ser muy útil. De ahí, establecer un seguimiento para ver el grado de respuesta al programa de contención, con sus respectivos KPI′s, para medir avances. No vamos a eliminar la necesidad de atención correctiva, pero podemos reducirla a una población mínima y ahí sí, usar individualmente, tecnologías de control del estrés

Normalmente pensamos que o excesso de tecnologia pode piorar os quadros de estresse. Mas usar aplicativos que ajudam a monitorar o humor, o sono, e outros sinais importantes como press?o e coerencia cardíaca podem dar dicas importantes para uma gest?o eficaz do estresse, à medida que o inidvíduo percebe e mede com maior clareza como seu corpo tem reagido as situa??es, favorecendo assim possíveis ajustes na forma como atua em momentos críticos. Ou seja fazer o biohacking ajuda a ser mais eficaz no enfrentamento do estresse. Outros aplicativos que oferecem medita??es guiadas, gest?o do tempo, orienta??es nutricionais, entre outros também podem ser interessantes para uma vis?o mais ampla sobre a gest?o do estresse.

The purpose of technology is to meet a human need or solve a human problem. To me technology should be used in stress only to gain knowledge to know how to overcome things like yoga, meditation etc. Because only natural things are a better way to overcome stress. No mechanical things can give you a permanent solution to get rid of stress

To start technology-based stress management interventions: Identify Needs: Understand audience stress requirements. Research Solutions: Explore tech options like apps or wearables. Select Tools: Choose interventions aligned with goals. Plan Implementation: Develop a launch strategy. Provide Training: Educate users on tech use. Collect Baseline Data: Gather initial stress levels. Implement Intervention: Launch and encourage participation. Monitor Engagement: Track user activity and address issues. Gather Feedback: Get user input and suggestions. Evaluate Effectiveness: Assess impact with pre- and post-intervention data. Iterate and Improve: Use feedback for refinement.

Identification des facteurs de stress : Prenez le temps d'identifier les facteurs de stress dans votre vie, tels que le travail, les relations personnelles, ou les responsabilités familiales. Sélection des interventions appropriées : Explorez les différentes options d'interventions de gestion du stress basées sur la technologie, telles que les applications de méditation, les programmes de pleine conscience, ou les outils de suivi du sommeil. Choisissez celles qui correspondent le mieux à vos objectifs, préférences et besoins. Planification d'un calendrier régulier : établissez un calendrier réaliste pour vos interventions de gestion du stress et planifiez des moments réguliers pour les intégrer dans votre quotidien.

Pour commencer une intervention des sous du stress, qu’elle soit basé sur la technologie, il est important de se conna?tre et d’identifier les facteurs du stress pour pouvoir travailler sur ceux-ci. Avoir un élément pour noter que ce soit papier ou non ses facteurs déclencheurs, les actions mises en place pour contrer le stress. Se garder un temps pour toi, analyser celle-ci, et vérifier l’efficacité du travail mis en place

One of the reasons that so many people are feeling stressed today is because of technology so my first choice in reducing stress isn’t to introduce more technology! We need to learn how to access a physiological reservoir of calm using non-technological tactics which we can call on at any time to reduce feelings of stress. We learn how to do this using tactics from the mind-body-brain research field also known as proprioception. When we gain access to these skills we can instantly use them, during a difficult conversation, when we wake up at night feeling anxious or when we feel overwhelmed with time constraints. No need to reach for tech-solutions when we have the best and fastest solutions available within our own nervous system!

Technology is definitely helpful in managing Stress interms of tracking your moods, monitoring your heart rates, using it for practicing meditation or mindfulness to track and improve sleep, to journal etc., In addition to these what is equally important is balancing it with a good exercise regime and indulging in activities which help you relax, energized. This can be personal for each individual like Yoga, dance, running, etc.,Another important thing to consider is to identifying stressors and learning effective responses to deal with them and practise.

L'hygiène de vie globale a un impact considérable sur la gestion du stress, un bon sommeil, une alimentation équilibrée (être vigilant à l'apport en magnésium qui est essentiel), une activité physique suffisante, se tenir à distance des réseaux sociaux et des informations du quotidien qui peuvent être anxiogènes, sont autant de critères permettant de se sentir plus apaisé

I agree with many of the contributors in this article. The use of tech is an addition to human interaction as there is a primary cause to your stress that needs releasing. An app may help you feel better in the short term, but a stress release professional will work to release what is the primary physical, mental or spiritual cause to you reacting to stressful situations with negative stress.

Technologie kann unterstütztende Funktionen in der Stressbew?ltigung einnehmen. Eine Abh?ngigkeit sollte jedoch vermieden werden ebenso wie das dauerhafte Bek?mpfen oder D?mpfen der Stresssymptome. Der effektivste Weg im Umgang mit Stress ist das identifizieren der individuellen Ursachen und bearbeiten dieser.
