Abstract(s)

Human Digital Twin (HDT) is a powerful tool to create a virtual replica of a human, to be used for example for designing interactions with physical systems, preventing cognitive overload, managing human capital, and maintaining a healthy and motivated workforce. Building human twins is a challenging task due to the need to reliably represent each corresponding human being, and the fact that human beings notably differ from each other. Therefore, relying solely on expert knowledge is insufficient, and human twins must learn the specifics of each individual in order to accurately represent them. This paper focuses on AI methods for modelling the mental wellbeing of knowledge workers because the mounting cognitive demands of both white-collar and blue-collar work lead to employees’ stress, and stress leads to diminished creativity and motivation, increased sick leaves, and in severe cases, accidents, burnouts, and disabilities. This paper describes the main building blocks of AI-based detectors of mental stress and highlights the main challenges and future directions of research., which are expected to be relevant also for HDT learning in other domains because the high degree of individuality is ubiquitous in all human activities.
