Over 124 participants shared their perspectives, and the data was analyzed using chi-square, spearson correlation, descriptive statistics. findings show how strong interest in AI- driven solutions such as gamified daily tasks with rewards, AI- based monitoring tools for detecting early sign of stress (with privacy assured), and adaptive micro-learning platforms that delivers short 2- minute lessons in the forms of videos, quizzes, and reels. Respondents were also open to AI assistants that track work patterns and suggests breaks or reminders.
