Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting mental fatigue by a user of an Information Handling System (IHS). Upon the user initiating operation of the IHS, activity by the user and physiological parameters of the user are monitored using capabilities of the IHS and, in some cases by wearable devices. Estimates of the user's mental fatigue during the session are generated based on the monitoring. Embodiments identify when the user takes a break from operating the IHS and also identify when the user resumes use of the IHS. Upon the user resuming the session, the user is prompted for their level of mental fatigue prior to taking the break, thus providing a reliable source of feedback data that is utilized in updating and improving machine learning models that are used to generate the estimates of the user's mental fatigue based on observed physiological parameters and activity by the user.
