  1. Personalised Ambient Monitoring: aiding those with Bipolar Disorder Sally Brailsford John Crowe Christopher James Evan Magill

  2. ThePAM project Enabling health, independence and wellbeing for psychiatric patients through Personalised Ambient Monitoring

  3. A sandpit project • Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council • Sandpit theme: “Bringing Care to the Patient”

  4. The PAM team • Sally Brailsford, Southampton • John Crowe, Nottingham • ChristopherJames, Southampton(PI) • Evan Magill, Stirling • plus 4 PhD students • Syed Mohiuddin, Pawel Prociow, James Amor and Jesse Blum Behavioural Analysis Sensors PAM Ambient Monitoring Operational Research

  5. PAM external steering group • Ms Sylvia Wyatt, Future Healthcare Network, NHS Scotland • Dr Amy Drahota, Research Fellow, University of Portsmouth • Mr Peter Jones, Community mental health nurse, Lancashire Care NHS Trust • Dr Paul Courtney, Consultant Psychiatrist, Hampshire Partnership Trust • Mr Richard Barritt, Chief Executive, Solent MIND • Mr James Stubbs, Service User Representative

  6. The aims of PAM • To build a system of unobtrusive sensors, linked (through a standard mobile phone) to a remote computer system, which automatically monitors the activity patterns of people with mental health problems • To determine whether it is possible to use such a system to obtain ‘activity signatures’ in a manner which is acceptable to the patient and can provide useful information about the trajectory of their health status • And if this is so, to determine how this information can best be used to maintain health and aid independence

  7. Bipolar Disorder • Severely disabling mental illness which affects functionality, relationships, employment and quality of life; affects 2% of the UK population (MHF, 2006) • Bipolar disorder is the 6th most common disabling illness worldwide (WHO, 2004) • In 2002, the estimated annual cost to the UK NHS of managing bipolar disorder was £199M, of which £70M was spent on hospital admissions (Gupta and Guest, 2002) • Many pharmacological treatments are available but these can have unpleasant side-effects and adherence is often poor, leading to hospital admission

  8. How does BD alter lifestyle?

  9. Managing Bipolar Disorder • Most patients want to manage their own condition, using medication only when necessary • Motivated patients of above-average intelligence, interested in self care and independence • Early warning signs or prodromes can be detected while patient is still “self-aware” and can take action (seek medical help, start medication etc) to avoid hospital admission • Paper-based “mood diaries” shown to be effective in trials

  10. Problems with paper-based systems • Do not provide a sense of control over daily life • Patients complain about vigilance and energy required • Problems with accuracy, completeness and honesty of patient-reported data • Patients may forget to document important details • Comorbidity and drug response go unmeasured • No reduction in depressive relapses (Perry et al, 1999)

  11. The aim of PAM • To use a system of electronic sensors to provide an automated equivalent of a mood diary, which alerts the patient to a change in activity pattern which could signal the onset of a bipolar episode • Patient would be sent an SMS alerting them to a possible change, which they could then act on (if they chose) • PAM is mainly aimed at people who live alone • Aim is to identify a baseline “activity signature” and then identify significant deviations from this

  16. Threads of research activity • The four centres collaborated across the project but we gravitated towards independent themes (as required by the four PhD students) • accelerometry & behaviour analysis • outside the home • BD modelling • rule-based sensor network

  17. accelerometry & behaviour analysis accelerometry & behaviour analysis

  18. accelerometry & behaviour analysis Accelerometry & Behavioural analysis • Determine what a person is doing (sleeping, eating, restlessly pacing around, etc) by feature extraction algorithms on sensor data (e.g. the “neuroscale” algorithm) • Develop an “activity signature” for that individual, describing their normal activity pattern when well • Develop a set of decision rules which determine whether an individual’s current activity is “normal” – for them – or may indicate the potential onset of a prodrome

  23. outside the home Identifying meaningful locations

  24. outside the home Activity data – Bluetooth • Participants on average encountered more than 1000 unique Bluetooth devices of which: • 80% were one-off encounters • 15% were “occasional” (1-10) encounters • 4% were “frequent” (10-40) encounters • 1% were “regular” (40 or more) encounters • This data can be used to monitor social interactions and enhance location information

  25. BD modelling BD Modelling

  26. BD modelling Operational Research modelling of PAM • Aim is to develop a “natural history” model for BD and use it to test the sensitivity and specificity of the PAM algorithms for detecting change in a patient’s health status, in the context of:- • A random (personalised) selection of sensors • Unknown reliability of the chosen sensors and the computer network system • Occasional failure (or deliberate removal) of a sensor • Variety in patient behaviour, in all states of health

  27. BD modelling Challenges for modelling BD • No OR modelling approach of BD in the literature, although some Markov models for depression (Patten et al, 2005) • No universally accepted staging models for BD found in the medical literature • Symptoms vary among patients ; and patients may exhibit mixed behaviour (manic and depressed) • Lack of easily measurable criteria • Took advice from clinical psychiatrist on our Steering Group

  28. Initial conceptual model of BD BD modelling “Normal” Depressed Manic

  29.  = 0  = 1 BD modelling Final state transition model • The parameter  represents mental health state: totally depressed ( = 0), “normal” or healthy ( ≈ 0.5) and totally manic ( = 1) • Each day, with a certain probability, the person may either stay in the same state, or progress to an adjacent state, in steps of 0.01

  33. rule-based sensor network rule-based sensor networks

  34. rule-based sensor network Programming sensor networks (PROSEN) • distribute rules to rule engines embedded in smart sensors • flexible programming • support for run-time updating of rules • aids personalisation and changing mental states • initial work in a wind farm setting ….

  35. rule-based sensor network PROSEN & REED • REED (Rule Execution and Event Distribution): • supports the distribution of rules and trigger events • employs a rule-based paradigm : • allows sensor networks to be programmed at run time • allows allow sensor network behaviour to be changed at run time • allows subscribe-notify service to be constructed • potential for processing, filtering and collating data

  36. rule-based sensor network Communications paradigm • Low-level decision and event driven • Interact by sending/receiving decisions and events • Low-level decision: • <trigger event, condition, action> • Executed if the condition is true • manipulate/store local data • generate events • may generate low-level decisions • Event received from: • components in PN • Neighbour PN • Policy server Test of a local state

  43. MOBILE RULE-BASED APPLICATIONS rule-based sensor network • Custom Symbian S60 Java ME applications installed on the mobile phone interfaced with m-Prolog. (Also Sony-Ericsson) • PAM-Gateway • Control data capture from wearable units (such as GPS, accelerometer, ambient light and sound levels) • PAM-Transfer • Perform automatic mobile to PC data transmission • PAM-Q • Dynamically adjustable questionnaires

  44. RELIABILITY AND ACCEPTABILITY ISSUES rule-based sensor network • Mobile phone battery life • On-body gateway disconnection • On-body device form factor issues • Environmental sensor reliability issues • Rule coherence

  45. POWER ISSUES Internal GPS: 5 hours @ 0.68 w rule-based sensor network BT, but no storage: 7.5 hours @ 0.48 w BT, and storage: 5.5 hours @ 0.67 w No BT & no user applications: 9 hours @ 0.41 w

  46. Rule Coherence when rules are: changing over time possibly unique for particular individuals originating from different stakeholders how can we ensure the integrity of the rules in particular the lack of conflicts between rules rule-based sensor network 47

  47. Example: “traditional” feature interaction Alice cannot call Charlie Originating Call Screening (OCS) If Alice calls Bob Bob’s Call Forwarding transfers call to Charlie Charlie Alice OCS CFx Bob rule-based sensor network X 48

  48. classes of feature interactions MAI: Two (or more) features control the same device (Multiple Action Interaction) STI: One event goes to different services which perform different conflicting actions (Shared Trigger Interaction) off F D hot D F on F hot F rule-based sensor network heater Power Saving Env cntrl temp air con wind cntrl 49

  49. classes of feature interactions SAI: A service performs an action on a device which triggers another feature. The chain might involve any number of links (Sequential Action Interaction, Loops) MTI: The existence of one feature prevents the another one from operating. (Missed Trigger Interaction) F close D F ! D F off F cold rule-based sensor network Env Cntrl blinds move alarm temp heat cntrl Power Saving 50

  50. Conflict Analysis rule-based sensor network Missed Trigger Interaction occurs when the Context Triggering rules delay the activation of a home gateway. • Offline and online analysis looking for conflicts between device rules • Like FI for call control • Searching for 5 types of conflict: • STI, SAI, LI, MAI, MTI • 12 case studies were developed to explore the conflicts 51 51
