Wearable Sensor Stress Detection w/ Spotify

A machine-learning system that detects stress from wearable biometrics and responds with adaptive music.

Overview

Your body knows you're stressed before you do. This project turns that physiological signal into action — detecting stress from wearable biometrics and responding with music tuned to bring you back down.

I built an ML pipeline that ingests wearable sensor streams, engineers features from heart-rate and related signals, and classifies stress states in near real time, then connected it to the Spotify API to trigger calming, adaptive playlists.

The result is a closed loop: sense, decide, respond — a working prototype for biometric-driven music therapy that reacts in the moment instead of after the fact.

At a glance

OPPORTUNITY

Stress is continuous and physiological, but most interventions are manual and arrive far too late.

WHAT I BUILT

An ML pipeline that classifies stress from wearable sensor signals and integrates with Spotify to trigger calming, adaptive playlists.

IMPACT

A closed-loop wellness prototype that senses stress and responds in the moment with music therapy.

Highlights

  • Stress classification from wearable biometric signals
  • Feature engineering on heart-rate and related streams
  • Spotify API integration for adaptive music therapy
  • Closed-loop sense-and-respond prototype
