Reviewer 2 Report
In this paper, the authors propose a method to improve the stress estimation accuracy by linking daily living activity data and biometric data. The study is interesting and has practical significance. However, several concerns are as follows.
1. The impact of daily activities on stress may vary from person to person, because everyone's favorite daily activities are different. This may lead to no strong correlation between daily activities and stress.
2. The estimation accuracy of more than 5% is actually not high, compared with the inaccuracy contained in the data obtained and processed.
3. The modeling algorithms used in the study should be explained clearly.

Reviewer 3 Report
1. Very poor English was used for the entire manuscript. Author must do complete proof read.
2. Any manuscript, Abstract play a major role to define the proposed model. Here abstract just like information only.
3. Lack of survey information and no recent research related to Biometric and Activity Indicators to Improve QoL.
4. Any manuscript, the flow process or entire process would be explained as system architecture. Here I could not find any system model to understand the proposed works.
5. How they were implemented this model ? What is the input parameters ? How the output parameters could calculated? What is the performance validation? all the above information were not described properly.
6. Author need to work hard and improve the manuscript in better way and I hope my comments will not discourage the author works. All the best
