About
Shou-Zen Fan is a pioneering researcher in biomedical signal processing and physiological monitoring, with a particular focus on non-invasive stress assessment. His most cited work, "Developing a monitoring psychological stress index system via photoplethysmography" (2011), introduced a novel approach to quantifying psychological stress using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals—a simple, wearable technology. This foundational study, with 12 citations, demonstrated how subtle variations in blood volume pulse waveforms could be analyzed to derive a stress index, offering a real-time, objective alternative to subjective self-report measures. Fan’s contributions lie at the intersection of engineering and clinical psychology, enabling continuous stress monitoring in high-stakes environments such as surgery or emergency response. His work has influenced subsequent research in affective computing and mobile health, paving the way for low-cost, scalable stress management tools. By translating complex physiological signals into actionable metrics, Fan has advanced the field of psychophysiological sensing, making mental health assessment more accessible and data-driven.
