Summary:Anxiety disorders refer to mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear or dread, which can interfere with daily life. These disorders are pervasive worldwide but can be treated with psychotherapy, medication, or both. Detecting them in time is key to avoid further severe development after an initial crisis. In this paper, we present a solution based on self-monitoring, using wearables, smartphones and Machine Learning (ML) to assess users' anxiety and panic levels. This is the first paper to embrace and present a visualisation system for mental health focused on patients. User studies support the solution's quality. With this system, patients are empowered to control their situation better, helping the medical staff to get more insight into when and where a crisis occurs.
