A REAL-TIME STRESS MONITORING AND BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM USING FLUTTER FLOW AND FIREBASE
The mental health of college students has grown significantly in recent years. Nearly 60% of students experience severe anxiety, and about 40% report symptoms of depression, according to research. Despite this, students in distress seldom receive assistance when they truly need it because campus counseling services frequently have waiting periods of two to four weeks. This article presents Stress Buster, a smartphone app designed to monitor stress levels in real time and provide tailored assistance before issues have a chance to get worse.
The app gathers each user's self-reported stress levels, screen time, sleep duration, mood ratings, and study time every day. A weighted classification formula (Mood×30% + Sleep×20% + Screen×20% + Self-Report×30%) is used to process these inputs and assign each user to one of four stress categories: Low, Moderate, High, or Critical. FlutterFlow and Firebase, which work together to manage secure login, real-time data syncing, stress trend charts, Spotify music integration, and in-app stress-relieving games, are the foundation of the application. The system matched user-reported stress levels 85% of the time in pilot testing, and active users reported a 23% decrease in stress. These findings lend credence to the idea of combining interactive, gamified relief tools with behavioral monitoring
