Modern mental fatigue detection methods include many parameters for evaluation. For example, many researchers use human subjective evaluation or driving parameters to assess this human condition. Development of a method for detecting the functional state of mental fatigue is an extremely important task.

To the best of our knowledge, these studies mostly investigate relationships between one vital sign and the driving circumstances either inside or outside the cabin. Hence, our paper provides an analysis of the correlation between the driver state (vital signs, eye state, and head pose) and both the vehicle maneuver actions (caused by the driver) and external events (carried out by other vehicles or pedestrians), including the proximity to other vehicles.

It has such an impact that changes your state from completely relaxed to extremely unpleasant, which makes the task of blood pressure monitoring a main procedure that almost everyone undergoes whenever there is something wrong or suspicious with his/her health condition. The most popular and accurate ways to measure blood pressure are cuff-based, inconvenient, and pricey, but on the bright side, many experimental studies prove that changes in the color intensities of the RGB channels represent variation in the blood that flows beneath the skin, which is strongly related to blood pressure; hence, we present a novel approach to blood pressure estimation based on the analysis of human face video using hybrid deep learning models.
