1. A method comprising, by one or more computing devices:

  • accessing one or more data streams from a plurality of sensors, wherein;

    the sensors comprise;

    one or more first sensors selected from a first group of sensor types consisting of a heart-rate monitor, a blood-pressure monitor, a pulse oximeter, and an accelerometer;

    one or two second sensors selected from a second group of sensor types consisting of a mood sensor, a behavioral sensor, and an environmental sensor;

    one third sensor also selected from the second group of sensor types, the third sensor being different in sensor type from each of the two second sensors;

    the data streams comprise one or more of heart-rate data of a person from the heart-rate monitor, blood-pressure data of the person from the blood-pressure monitor, pulse-oximetry data of the person from the pulse oximeter, accelerometer data of the person from the accelerometer, mood data of the person from the mood sensor, behavioral data of the person from the behavioral sensor, or environmental data from the environmental sensor;

    a first data set from the data streams was collected from the person at a first time, the person having been exposed to a stressor at the first time, as indicated by data in the first data set from the third sensor; and

    a second data set from the data streams was collected from the person at a second time, the person not having been exposed to the stressor at the second time, as indicated by data in the second data set from the third sensor;

    analyzing the first data set and second data set with respect to each other; and

    determining a current stress factor for the stressor with respect to the person based on the analysis of the first data set and second data set with respect to each other.
