Fuzzy Tsukamoto Implementation to Detect Physiological Condition on IoT-Based e-Learning Users

Science and technology advancement drives humans to adapt to the digital world. IT development is proven to positively affect the education area through the concept of electronic learning (e-learning). This is especially true during the COVID-19 pandemic where traditional classrooms teaching was transferred to e-learning. This technological development demands individuals to adapt to the advancement. Despite its benefits, technological advancement may affect the physical condition of e-learning users. When the e-learning users fail to adjust, they might have physical condition problems that cause depression. Therefore, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system to detect the physiological conditions of e-learning users. By implementing Fuzzy Tsukamoto as artificial intelligence on IoT technology, we can identify the physiological condition of e-learning users such as relaxed, calm, anxious, and stressed conditions. Structurally, the proposed system consists of three stages: 1) Sensor data acquisition, 2) Physiological condition detection using Fuzzy Tsukamoto, 3) Display the output directly to the website. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system in the task of detecting the physiological condition of the ten e-learning users. Based on experimental results, the proposed system presents 84.01% of accuracy. This result indicates that the proposed system is able to reliably detect physiological conditions on IoT-based e-learning users. By detecting psychological conditions, e-learning is expected to become an adaptive learning system so that it can adapt to the characteristics of each user.
