This research project focuses on social communication-such as workplace meetings and discussions-which serves as a primary context in which stressors arise in workplace environments. Through in-situ measurements conducted during everyday meetings as well as controlled experiments using simulated meeting settings, the project aims to develop technologies for alleviating workplace stressors, thereby reducing workers' stress and contributing to improvements in their Quality of Life (QoL) and overall well-being.
Efficacy
Exploratory
Not applicable
The primary outcome of this research is the evaluation of the effects on meeting participants' subjective well-being based on multimodal data, including audio signals and speech content extracted from voice recordings, as well as physiological and behavioral data (e.g., heart rate and sleep states) collected via smartwatches.
Questionnaire responses assessing personality traits and psychological and physical states
Questionnaire responses related to the categorization and characteristics of meetings
Speech feature extraction based on audio data recorded during meetings
Speech-to-text extraction from audio data recorded during meetings
Heart rate data collected during meetings

This study does not involve any specific intervention requiring participants to engage in additional physical activities or tasks beyond their normal routines. Data are collected during regularly conducted workplace meetings. Similarly, simulated meeting sessions are designed to reflect everyday meeting settings, in which participants are provided with typical agendas and roles and are asked to demonstrate meetings as they would normally occur in daily life.
