Abstract
Mental health disorders constitute a significant global challenge, compounded by the limitations of traditional management approaches that rely heavily on subjective self-reports and infrequent professional evaluations. This study presents a groundbreaking IoT-based system that integrates big data analytics, fuzzy logic, and machine learning to revolutionise mental health monitoring. In contrast to existing solutions, the proposed system uniquely incorporates environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity in enclosed spaces—critical yet often overlooked contributors to emotional well-being. By leveraging IoT devices to collect and process large-scale ambient data, the system provides real-time classification and personalised visualisation tailored to individual sensitivity profiles. Preliminary results reveal high accuracy, scalability, and the potential to generate actionable insights, creating dynamic feedback loops for continuous improvement. This innovative approach bridges the gap between environmental conditions and mental healthcare, promoting a transformative shift from reactive to proactive care and laying the groundwork for predictive environmental health systems.Description
