abstract = "When linked to wearable biosensors, Intelligent Environments could play a pivotal role in continuously monitoring and securing people{\textquoteright}s well-being.We explored the value of one such biosensor that records Electrodermal Activity (EDA) by assessing its correlation with participants{\textquoteright} simultaneously, continuously, self-reported arousal. EDA{\textquoteright}s frequency and amplitude of {\textquoteleft}non-specific{\textquoteright} SkinConductance Responses in low, mid to high, or high levels of arousal were deter-mined. When participants were in mid/high and high arousal situations, self-reports showed significant correlations (p<.001) with both EDA characteristics. With low arousal, no significant correlations were found. So, in cases of elevated stress, EDA shows the potential of being a reliable signal stress and, hence, also monitor of people{\textquoteright}s well-being over time. Follow-up studies should further investigate and validate the utility of EDA monitoring as part of a comprehensive health monitoring strategy and its effectiveness in enhancing well-being. ",
