Wearable health-tracking consumer products are gaining popularity, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, smart clothing, and head-mounted devices. These wearable devices promise new opportunities for the study of health-related behavior, for tracking of chronic conditions, and for innovative interventions in support of health and wellness. Next-generation wearable technologies have the potential to transform today’s hospitalcentered healthcare practices into proactive, individualized care. Although it seems new technologies enter the marketplace every week, there is still a great need for research on the development of sensors, sensor-data analytics, wearable interaction modalities, and more. In this special issue, we sought to assemble a set of articles addressing novel computational research related to any aspect of the design or use of wearables in medicine and health, including wearable hardware design, AI and data analytics algorithms, human-device interaction, security/privacy, and novel applications. Here, in Part 1 of a two-part collection of articles on this topic, we are pleased to share seven articles about the use of wearables for emotion sensing, physiotherapy, virtual reality, automated meal detection, a human data model, and a survey of physical-activity tracking. In the first article, “EmotionSense: An Adaptive Emotion Recognition System Based on Wearable Smart Devices”, Wang et al. propose an adaptive emotion recognition system based on smartwatches. The proposed approach first identifies user activities and employs an adaptive emotion-recognition method that extracts finegrained features from multi-mode sensory data and characterizes different emotions. This work demonstrates that wearable devices like smartwatches have made it possible to recognize physiological and behavioral patterns of humans in a convenient and non-invasive manner. In the next article, “Physiotherapy over a Distance: The Use of Wearable Technology for Video Consultations in Hospital Settings”, Aggarwal et al. report the findings of a field evaluation of a wearable technology, called SoPhy, in assessment of lower-limb movements in video consultations. The results show a number of advantages of the wearable systems like SoPhy, including helping physiotherapists in identifying subtle differences in the patient’s movements, increasing the diagnostic confidence of the physiotherapists and guiding more accurate assessment of the patients, and enhancing the overall clinician-patient communication in better understanding the therapy goals to the patients. Based on the findings, the article also presents design implications to guide further development of the video-consultation systems. Next, the article “On Shooting Stars: Comparing CAVE and HMD Immersive Virtual Reality Exergaming for Adults with Mixed Ability”, presents a study that explores the effects of two different iVR systems, the Cave Automated Virtual Environment (CAVE) and HTC Vive Head-Mounted Displ
可穿戴式健康追踪消费产品越来越受欢迎,包括智能手表、健身追踪器、智能服装和头戴式设备。这些可穿戴设备为研究与健康相关的行为、跟踪慢性病以及支持健康和保健的创新干预提供了新的机会。下一代可穿戴技术有可能将今天以医院为中心的医疗保健实践转变为主动的个性化护理。尽管似乎每周都有新技术进入市场,但仍然非常需要对传感器、传感器数据分析、可穿戴交互模式等的发展进行研究。在本期特刊中,我们试图收集一组文章,讨论与可穿戴设备在医疗和健康领域的设计或使用的任何方面相关的新颖计算研究,包括可穿戴硬件设计、人工智能和数据分析算法、人机交互、安全/隐私和新颖应用。在本文的第1部分,我们将分享七篇关于可穿戴设备在情感感知、物理治疗、虚拟现实、自动膳食检测、人类数据模型和身体活动跟踪调查方面的应用的文章。在第一篇文章“EmotionSense:基于可穿戴智能设备的自适应情绪识别系统”中,Wang等人提出了一种基于智能手表的自适应情绪识别系统。该方法首先识别用户活动,并采用自适应情绪识别方法,从多模式感官数据中提取细粒度特征,并表征不同的情绪。这项工作表明,像智能手表这样的可穿戴设备已经能够以一种方便和非侵入性的方式识别人类的生理和行为模式。在下一篇文章“远程物理治疗:在医院环境中使用可穿戴技术进行视频会诊”中,Aggarwal等人报告了一种名为SoPhy的可穿戴技术的现场评估结果,该技术用于评估视频会诊中的下肢运动。结果显示,像SoPhy这样的可穿戴系统有许多优势,包括帮助物理治疗师识别患者运动中的细微差异,提高物理治疗师的诊断信心,指导更准确的患者评估,以及加强临床与患者的整体沟通,更好地了解患者的治疗目标。基于研究结果,本文还提出了指导视频咨询系统进一步发展的设计启示。接下来,文章“On Shooting Stars: comparative CAVE and HMD Immersive Virtual Reality Exergaming for Adults with Mixed Ability”,提出了一项研究,探讨了两种不同的iVR系统,CAVE自动化虚拟环境(CAVE)和HTC Vive头戴式显示器(HMD)作为物理治疗系统的效果。利用一种名为Project Star Catcher (PSC)的运动游戏,作者在n=40名受损用户和非受损用户之间进行了交叉检查。结果表明,HMD - iVR系统在提高运动的身体表现和生理反应方面要有效得多

With the recent surge of smart wearable devices, it is possible to obtain the physiological and behavioral data of human beings in a more convenient and non-invasive manner. Based on such data, researchers have developed a variety of systems or applications to recognize and understand human behaviors, including both physical activities (e.g., gestures) and mental states (e.g., emotions). Specifically, it has been proved that different emotions can cause different changes in physiological parameters. However, other factors, such as activities, may also impact one’s physiological parameters. To accurately recognize emotions, we need not only explore the physiological data but also the behavioral data. To this end, we propose an adaptive emotion recognition system by exploring a sensor-enriched wearable smart watch. First, an activity identification method is developed to distinguish different activity scenes (e.g., sitting, walking, and running) by using the accelerometer sensor. Based on the identified activity scenes, an adaptive emotion recognition method is proposed by leveraging multi-mode sensory data (including blood volume pulse, electrodermal activity, and skin temperature). Specifically, we extract fine-grained features to characterize different emotions. Finally, the adaptive user emotion recognition model is constructed and verified by experiments. An accuracy of 74.3% for 30 participants demonstrates that the proposed system can recognize human emotions effectively.

Inactivity and a lack of engagement with exercise is a pressing health problem in the United States and beyond. Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) is a promising medium to motivate users through engaging virtual environments. Currently, modern iVR lacks a comparative analysis between research and consumer-grade systems for exercise and health. This article examines two such iVR mediums: the Cave Automated Virtual Environment (CAVE) and the head-mounted display (HMD). Specifically, we compare the room-scale Mechdyne CAVE and HTC Vive Pro HMD with a custom in-house exercise game that was designed such that user experiences were as consistent as possible between both systems. To ensure that our findings are generalizable for users of varying abilities, we recruited 40 participants with and without cognitive disabilities with regard to the fact that iVR environments and games can differ in their cognitive challenge between users. Our results show that across all abilities, the HMD excelled in in-game performance, biofeedback response, and player engagement. We conclude with considerations in utilizing iVR systems for exergaming with users across cognitive abilities.
在美国和其他国家,缺乏运动和缺乏锻炼是一个紧迫的健康问题。沉浸式虚拟现实(iVR)是一种很有前途的媒介,可以通过参与虚拟环境来激励用户。目前,现代iVR缺乏研究和消费级运动和健康系统之间的比较分析。本文研究了两种iVR媒介:Cave自动化虚拟环境(Cave)和头戴式显示器(HMD)。具体来说,我们将房间大小的Mechdyne CAVE和HTC Vive Pro HMD与一款定制的内部运动游戏进行了比较,这款游戏的设计使两个系统之间的用户体验尽可能一致。为了确保我们的发现适用于不同能力的用户,我们招募了40名有或没有认知障碍的参与者,考虑到iVR环境和游戏在用户之间的认知挑战可能不同。我们的研究结果显示,在所有能力中,HMD在游戏中的表现、生物反馈反应和玩家粘性方面都表现出色。我们总结了利用iVR系统与不同认知能力的用户进行游戏的考虑。

A successive similar pattern (SSP) is a series of similar sequences that occur consecutively at non-regular intervals in time series. Mining SSPs could provide valuable information without a priori knowledge, which is crucial in many applications ranging from health monitoring to activity recognition. However, most existing work is computationally expensive, focuses only on periodic patterns occurring in regular time intervals, and is unable to recognize patterns containing multiple periods. Here we investigate a more general problem of finding similar patterns occurring successively, in which the similarity between patterns is measured by the z-normalized Euclidean distance. We propose a linear time, robust method, called Multiple-length Successive sIMilar PAtterns Detector (mSIMPAD), that mines SSPs of multiple lengths, making no assumptions regarding periodicity. We apply our method on the detection of repetitive movement using a wearable inertial measurement unit. The experiments were conducted on three public datasets, two of which contain simple walking and idle data, whereas the third is more complex and contains multiple activities. mSIMPAD achieved F-score improvements of 3.2% and 6.5%, respectively, over the simple and complex datasets compared to the state-of-the-art walking detector. In addition, mSIMPAD is scalable and applicable to real-time applications since it operates in linear time complexity.

Sleep apnea is a common yet severely under-diagnosed sleep related disorder. Unattended sleep monitoring at home with low-cost sensors can be leveraged for condition detection, and Machine Learning offers a generalized solution for this task. However, patient characteristics, lack of sufficient training data, and other factors can imply a domain shift between training and end-user data and reduced task performance. In this work, we address this issue with the aim to achieve personalization based on the patient’s needs. We present an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) solution with the constraint that labeled source data are not directly available. Instead, a classifier trained on the source data is provided. Our solution iteratively labels target data sub-regions based on classifier beliefs, and trains new classifiers from the expanding dataset. Experiments with sleep monitoring datasets and various sensors show that our solution outperforms the classifier trained on the source domain, with a kappa coefficient improvement from 0.012 to 0.242. Additionally, we apply our solution to digit classification DA between three well-established datasets, to investigate its generalizability, and allow for related work comparisons. Even without direct access to the source data, it outperforms several well-established UDA methods in these datasets.

Epilepsy is a chronic medical condition that involves abnormal brain activity causing patients to lose control of awareness or motor activity. As a result, detection of pre-ictal states, before the onset of a seizure, can be lifesaving. The problem is challenging because it is difficult to discern between electroencephalogram signals in pre-ictal states versus signals in normal inter-ictal states. There are three key challenges that have not been addressed previously: (1) the inconsistent performance of prediction models across patients, (2) the lack of perfect prediction to protect patients from any episode, and (3) the limited amount of pre-ictal labeled data for advancing machine learning methods. This article addresses these limitations through a novel approach that uses adversarial examples with optimized tuning of a combined convolutional neural network and gated recurrent unit. Compared to the state of the art, the results showed an improvement of 3x in model robustness as measured in reduced variations and superior accuracy of the area under the curve, with an average increase of 6.7%. The proposed method also exhibited superior performance with other advances in the field of machine learning and customized for epilepsy prediction including data augmentation with Gaussian noise and multitask learning.

Vital signs, such as respiration and heartbeat, are useful for health monitoring because such signals provide important clues of medical conditions. Effective solutions are needed to provide contact-free, easy deployment, low-cost, and long-term vital sign monitoring. In this article, we present PhaseBeat to exploit channel state information, in particular, phase difference data to monitor breathing and heart rates with commodity WiFi devices. We provide a rigorous analysis of channel state information phase difference with respect to its stability and periodicity. Based on the analysis, we design and implement the PhaseBeat system with off-the-shelf WiFi devices and conduct an extensive experimental study to validate its performance. Our experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of PhaseBeat over existing approaches in various indoor environments.

Our experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of PhaseBeat over existing approaches in various indoor environments.","PeriodicalId":72043,"journal":{"name":"ACM transactions on computing for healthcare","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1145/3377165","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42391045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
