The need to diagnose and manage stress has become a staggering worldwide problem. Today, stress is an epidemic, and as such, a major reason for doctors’ office visits and a major part of the skyrocketing costs of workers compensation. Approximately sixty percent of visits of doctors’ offices relate to stress. Workers with high stress have three times the absentee days, and some have mental illnesses, which appear years before their fellow workers.

It was estimated by Paul Rosch, President of the American Institute of Stress, in a New York Times article that stress costs amounted to 300 billion dollars a year.

Astronomical health care costs have led medical personnel to allow their patients—to personalize—to be responsible for their own medical data, and monitor their own stress with consultation,, thus reducing costs.

Stresscom.net was designed to meet these cost problems head-on by offering patients and workers a way to measure, monitor, and manage their stress. Stresscom.net has been able to diagnose stress as a part of several illness-related syndromes, such as heart disease and eczema. Stresscom.net has also been able to reduce, in the second year, workers compensation costs by as much as 38% in a major U.S. city, Pasadena, California.
