This study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of behavioral sensing among individuals with schizophrenia.
Nine outpatients and 11 inpatients carried smartphones for two- or one-week periods, respectively. Device-embedded sensors (accelerometers, microphone, global positioning system, WiFi, and Bluetooth) collected behavioral data and ascertained the patients' location, activity, and exposure to human speech as they went about their day. Participants rated this approach by completing usability and acceptability measures.
Sensing successfully captured individuals' activity, time spent proximal to human speech, and time spent in various locations. Participants felt comfortable using the sensing system (95%), and most were interested in receiving feedback (65%) and suggestions (65%). Approximately 20% reported that sensing made them upset. One-third of inpatients were concerned about their privacy, but no outpatients expressed this concern.
Mobile behavioral sensing was a feasible, acceptable, and informative approach for data collection among outpatients and inpatients with schizophrenia.
本研究探讨了行为传感技术在精神分裂症患者中的可行性、可接受性和实用性。
9名门诊患者和11名住院患者分别携带智能手机两周或一周。设备内置传感器(加速度计、麦克风、全球定位系统、WiFi和蓝牙)收集行为数据,并确定患者在日常生活中的位置、活动以及接触人类语音的情况。参与者通过完成可用性和可接受性测量来对这种方法进行评分。
传感技术成功捕捉到了个体的活动、与人类语音近距离接触的时间以及在不同地点停留的时间。参与者对使用传感系统感到满意(95%),大多数人对接收反馈(65%)和建议(65%)感兴趣。约20%的人表示传感技术让他们感到不安。三分之一的住院患者担心自己的隐私,但门诊患者中无人表达此担忧。
移动行为传感技术是一种用于精神分裂症门诊和住院患者数据收集的可行、可接受且信息丰富的方法。
