Abstract

Stress is a major health problem in this century, and it is associated with adverse health consequences. Its prevention and management are a great challenge, and only a minority of the affected persons receive treatment. New digital technologies offer opportunities to provide effective psychological interventions to address the negative consequences of occupational stress. However, the knowledge of the importance of different functions and features of digital stress management systems remains largely unexplored. This work closes that research gap by conducting a Delphi study, in which 20 experts prioritized requirements in three rounds. The purpose of the present study is to enable developers of digital stress management systems (DSMS) to profitably select and use functions and characteristics of those systems, taking into account the available resources. Thus, the aim is to find DSMS that better counteract excessive stress. Finally, 82% of all requirements meet the consensus threshold.
