The importance is mainly in diagnosing them on time with which it is possible to be helped to avoid that diverse types of alterations are developed in greater degree. This work consists mainly of the development of an instrument that values some physiological and psychological variables related to stress and necessary software for its analysis. The breathing (thorax and abdominal), the chemical composition of the sweat (GSR) and the tension of skin (EMG) are used like primary physiological variables, in addition a scale MSP is applied to the patient and the corporal attitude is observed to him. The main element processor of the information in hardware is a microcontroller of the family of the PIC and a set of noninvasive sensors, whereas in software, the main element is the functions of capture and analysis of data. The objective of the work, when counting with more than a physiological and psychological variable is indeed to consider with greater exactitude the degree of present stress in the patient, besides to tell on a computational tool that it allows east type of analysis.
