Processor for processing skin conductance data and device for detecting at least one stage of burnout and/or chronic fatigue syndrome of a living being

A processing method for processing skin conductance data of a living being, the processing method comprising:

• receiving a skin conductance data signal comprising a plurality of data peaks;
• computing a skin conductance peak data signal over a long-term period by deriving a feature related to said data peaks from said skin conductance data signal and forming a summation of said feature per time unit;
• analyzing at least one of an average and an absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal over at least a portion of said period to get information on at least one stage of burnout and/or chronic fatigue syndrome of said living being;
• and
• outputting
• a full stage signal indicating a full stage of said predetermined stress state when the at least one of average and absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal falls below a lower threshold after it has exceeded said upper threshold,
• a recovery stage signal indicating a recovery stage when the at least one of average and absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal at least one of rises towards and exceeds said lower thresholds without exceeding said upper threshold after said full stage of said predetermined stress state, and
• a healthy state signal, when the at least one of average and absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal is above said lower threshold and below said upper threshold.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution by a processor for processing skin conductance data of a living being. The non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising:

• instructions for computing a skin conductance peak data signal over a long-term period by deriving a feature related to a plurality of data peaks from a received skin conductance data signal and forming a summation of said feature per time unit;
• instructions for analyzing at least one of an average and an absolute value of said skin conductance ieak data sional over at least a portion of said period to get information on at least one stage of burnout and/or chronic fatigue syndrome of said living being;
• and
• instructions for outputting
• a full stage signal indicating a full stage of said predetermined stress state when the at least one of average and absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal kills below a lower threshold after it has exceeded said upper threshold, and
• a recovery stage signal indicating a recovery stage when the at least one of average and absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal at least one of rises towards and exceeds said lower threshold without exceeding said upper threshold after said full stage of said predetermined stress state, and
• a healthy state signal, when the at least one of average and absolute value of said skin conductance peak data signal is above said lower threshold and below said upper threshold.
