“…The scientific validity of stress detection through HRV assessment is substantiated by neurobiological evidence [43]. Nevertheless, Tran et al [44] suggested that HRV does not fully reflect the work-content-related stress during work, and it is problematic to measure the effect of work-content-related stress on HRV in the real manufacturing environment. Tran et al [44] stated that since HRV strongly depends on too many factors (e.g., work context, individual physical and mental status), its real-time usage for stress monitoring can be problematic.…”

Stress is a critical concern in manufacturing environments, as it impacts the well-being and performance of workers. Accurate measurement of stress is essential for effective intervention and mitigation strategies. This paper introduces a holistic and human-centered protocol to measure stress in manufacturing settings. The three-phased protocol integrates the analysis of physiological signals, performance indicators, and the human perception of stress. The protocol incorporates advanced techniques, such as electroencephalography (EEG), heart rate variability (HRV), galvanic skin response (GSR), and electromyography (EMG), to capture physiological responses associated with stress. Furthermore, the protocol considers performance indicators as an additional dimension of stress measurement. Indicators such as task execution time, errors, production rate, and other relevant performance metrics contribute to a comprehensive understanding of stress in manufacturing environments. The human perception of stress is also integrated into the protocol, recognizing the subjective experience of the individual. This component captures self-assessment and subjective reports, allowing for a more nuanced evaluation of stress levels. By adopting a holistic and human-centered approach, the proposed protocol aims to enhance our understanding of stress factors in manufacturing environments. The protocol was also applied in the automotive industry and plastic component manufacturing. The insights gained from this protocol can inform targeted interventions to improve worker well-being, productivity, and overall organizational performance.

Background The demand for high-quality systematic literature reviews (SRs) for evidence-based medical decision-making is growing. SRs are costly and require the scarce resource of highly skilled reviewers. Automation technology has been proposed to save workload and expedite the SR workflow. We aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of SR automation studies indexed in PubMed, focusing on the applicability of these technologies in real world practice. Methods In November 2022, we extracted, combined, and ran an integrated PubMed search for SRs on SR automation. Full-text English peer-reviewed articles were included if they reported studies on SR automation methods (SSAM), or automated SRs (ASR). Bibliographic analyses and knowledge-discovery studies were excluded. Record screening was performed by single reviewers, and the selection of full text papers was performed in duplicate. We summarized the publication details, automated review stages, automation goals, applied tools, data sources, methods, results, and Google Scholar citations of SR automation studies. Results From 5321 records screened by title and abstract, we included 123 full text articles, of which 108 were SSAM and 15 ASR. Automation was applied for search (19/123, 15.4%), record screening (89/123, 72.4%), full-text selection (6/123, 4.9%), data extraction (13/123, 10.6%), risk of bias assessment (9/123, 7.3%), evidence synthesis (2/123, 1.6%), assessment of evidence quality (2/123, 1.6%), and reporting (2/123, 1.6%). Multiple SR stages were automated by 11 (8.9%) studies. The performance of automated record screening varied largely across SR topics. In published ASR, we found examples of automated search, record screening, full-text selection, and data extraction. In some ASRs, automation fully complemented manual reviews to increase sensitivity rather than to save workload. Reporting of automation details was often incomplete in ASRs. Conclusions Automation techniques are being developed for all SR stages, but with limited real-world adoption. Most SR automation tools target single SR stages, with modest time savings for the entire SR process and varying sensitivity and specificity across studies. Therefore, the real-world benefits of SR automation remain uncertain. Standardizing the terminology, reporting, and metrics of study reports could enhance the adoption of SR automation techniques in real-world practice.

Objectives We aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of SLR automation studies indexed in PubMed, focusing on the applicability of these technologies in real world practice. Methods In November 2022, we ran a combined search syntax of four published SLRs on SLR automation. Full-text English peer-reviewed articles were included if they reported Studies on SLR Automation Methods (SSAM), or Automated SLRs (ASLR). Bibliographic analyses and knowledge-discovery studies were excluded. Record screening was performed by single reviewers, the selection of full text papers was performed in duplicate. We summarized the publication details, automated review stages, automation goals, applied tools, data sources, methods, results and Google Scholar citations of SLR automation studies. Results From 5321 records screened by title and abstract, we included 123 full text articles, out of which 108 were SSAMs and 15 ASLRs. Automation was applied for search, record screening, full-text selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, evidence synthesis, assessment of evidence quality and reporting in 19 (15.4%), 89 (72.4%), 6 (4.9%), 13 (10.6%), 9 (7.3%), 2 (1.6%), 2 (1.6%), and 2 (1.6%) studies, respectively.
