Abstract
Mental fatigue is a concern for a range of reasons, including its negative impact on productivity and quality of life in general. The maximal working capacity and performance of an individual, whether physical or mental, generally also decreases as the day progresses. The loss of these capabilities is associated with the emergence of fatigue, which is particularly visible in long and demanding tasks or repetitive jobs. However, good management of working time and of the effort invested in each task, as well as the effect of breaks at work can result in better performance and better mental health, delaying the effects of fatigue. In this paper a model and prototype are proposed to detect and monitor fatigue, based on behavioral biometrics (Keystroke Dynamics and Mouse Dynamics). Using this approach, the aim is to develop leisure and work context-aware environments that may improve quality of life and individual performance, as well as productivity in organizations.
