EarStreAM: A Closed-Loop Earable System for Personalized Stress-Adaptive Meditation
TL;DR
EarStreAM is presented, a closed-loop earable system for stress-adaptive meditation that integrates in-ear physiological sensing with personalized, real-time intervention and highlights how in-ear sensing, closed-loop adaptation, and personalized generative meditation can be integrated into an earable system for real-time stress support in demanding office work contexts.
Abstract
We present EarStreAM, a closed-loop earable system for stress-adaptive meditation that integrates in-ear physiological sensing with personalized, real-time intervention. Leveraging OpenEarable 2.0's multimodal sensing, EarStreAM continuously monitors physiological signals and detects elevated stress from heart rate and heart rate variability. Upon detection, the system initiates a personalized guided meditation generated by an LLM and adapted in real time to the user's stress state. The demo offers a hands-on experience of stress-adaptive meditation in two modes: a biosignal-adaptive meditation with optional stress induction to illustrate closed-loop adaptation, and a meditation-only mode focusing on EarStreAM's generative personalization capabilities. The demo highlights how in-ear sensing, closed-loop adaptation, and personalized generative meditation can be integrated into an earable system for real-time stress support in demanding office work contexts.
