Abstract
On the basis of our research, the GDV does not seem to possess a specific medical diagnostic capability, however, the GDV does display very significant change with interventions designed to reduce stress; therefore, the GDV technique can potentially be used in tracking the effectiveness of physical and mental fitness programmes. We also concluded that the level of GDV-entropy is an important indicator of mental health and can help to identify which individuals are more likely to suffer from stress and its consequences.
