CIRUSS Platform: Surgery Patient Empowerment by Stress and Anxiety Monitoring

In this paper, we present the CIRUSS software platform that has been developed within the framework of the Phase 2 of the pre-commercial procurement (PCP) for the Horizon 2020 STARS project. STARS-PCP aims at developing novel personalised solutions for reducing stress related to surgical procedures. CIRUSS is an integrated, scalable, sustainable and technologically adapted solution that aims to response to present and future needs of the European healthcare systems in relation to stress and anxiety management for surgery patients. Among the different functionalities included in CIRUSS, the solution integrates a tool for detecting the stress and anxiety by joint processing of voice, face and heart-rate of the patient. As a side product, a dataset of patient video interviews has been designed and acquired. This dataset has been used to assess the performance of monomodal stress detection systems as well the multimodal approach.
