Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of managing stress or fatigue in users, comprising: acquiring and recording real-time stress or fatigue measurements from a user performing a workflow using at least one sensor, the workflow including a task having a level of complexity; adjusting a threshold value of stress or fatigue dynamically by taking into account a historical baseline stress or fatigue variability percentage of the user performing a task of said level of complexity; comparing said measurements with the threshold value of stress or fatigue stored in a database of a computer system; notifying the user of said measurements increasing and approaching the threshold value of stress or fatigue by electronic means; displaying on a display of said computer system an option to stop said workflow, an option to adjust said workflow, an option to modify the task in said workflow to a task of lower complexity, and an option to continue said workflow; determining whether said threshold value of stress or fatigue has been exceeded by said measurements, wherein on condition that said threshold value of stress or fatigue has been exceeded, issuing an alert to said user by said electronic means and displaying on the display an alert override option to allow the workflow to continue upon the user entering a reason for overriding the alert into said database; and triggering increased monitoring frequency of said stress or fatigue measurements of said user using said at least one sensor by initiating a fatigue escalation pathway responsive to the user overriding the alert by said alert override option.
