How does GoBe U detect stress level?

What is stress?

Stress is the body’s response to changes that push it out of its comfort zone. This reaction is natural and can be triggered by emotional events, physical exertion, time zone changes, or mental workload.

When stress is prolonged or intense, the body uses more internal resources. If these aren’t replenished with adequate rest and recovery, it may lead to:

• Tiredness

• Insomnia

• Poor concentration

• Decreased productivity

• Mood swings

How GoBe U tracks stress

GoBe U helps you monitor how stress affects your body throughout the day. The device classifies stress into five intensity levels, based on the impact on your body's resources:

1. Safe

Stress is nearly absent. No negative effects are expected.

2. Light

Mild changes in emotional state may be noticeable. The body is still within safe limits.

3. Elevated

This level reflects everyday stress (work, commuting, studying). Continuous Elevated stress can build up and negatively affect mood and focus.

Tip: Support your recovery with healthy sleep, regular meals, and light exercise.

4. High

This level drains your energy faster and more noticeably. Fatigue and reduced performance may occur. If High stress continues for more than a day, it becomes harder to recover and may require schedule adjustments.

5. Very High

An extreme stress level. Prolonged exposure may lead to health issues like hormonal imbalance or burnout.

Important: If Very High stress remains even after rest, consult a healthcare professional.

What is Accumulated Stress?

Accumulated Stress shows how much time your body spent under stress levels that drain resources, starting from the Elevated level.

Unlike short-term spikes, continuous stress can quietly exhaust the body’s reserves. Even Elevated stress, if sustained, may cause the body to respond as if it were under High or Very High stress.

GoBe U tracks this cumulative effect to help you understand how stress impacts your health over time.
