Stress can have dangerous effects to human mental and physical health. Statistics, machine learning and novel data analytics approaches have been used to detect stress from physiological time series data. However such data is noisy which can limit the effectiveness of algorithms. Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a novel approach that can handle noisy data and may be promising for physiological time series data analysis. However, TDA is currently in the early stages of development, with researchers still grappling with the problem of feature extraction from TDA signatures for machine learning. Current state-of-the-art in TDA handles only small computer vision or univariate time series data analysis due to its computational expense. We present a TDA method for stress detection and validate it on the public Wearable Stress and Affect Detection (WESAD) dataset. We contribute a complete TDA method to classify long multivariate physiological time series data that overcomes some of the computational expensive and demonstrate its effectiveness compared to state of the art methods.
