摘要:Introduction. The effects of the use of mobile henhouses and their equipment on the physical and mental stress of farmersin the organic egg production, and the reliability of the sensor-based detection of these in work processes are insufficientlyknown. There are neither measurement results nor key figures, according to operation and gender especially, available inthe literature.Objective. The aim of this case study is to quantify the physical and mental stress of work processes on the basis of heartrate and the Baevsky Stress Index, as measured by the ECG- and activity sensor Movisens®, which is used mainly in the sportsand rehabilitation sectors. To analyse the impact, daily routine work was divided into operations and the data collected forthis purpose analysed descriptively and analytically.Conclusions. In summary, it can be concluded that measurement technology has the potential to capture the activityrelatedexceedances of the endurance limit of the work severity by means of the heart rate reliably, to identify risk areasof employment and to quantify stress situations. The accuracy and reliability of data acquisition with Movisens® should bevalidated by a larger sample size and further measurements. In particular, the algorithm for calculating the data to quantifythe mental and physical stress without movement needs to be improved significantly through further development.
