Study Overview

"TILES: Tracking Individual Performance with Sensors" study is to examine the physiological, environmental, and behavioral variables affecting job performance and employee wellness. In this work, we use a audio badge sensor called TAR that captures audio features from the participants. We also have installed BLE-proximity system to track the indoor locations of the participant.

Here is an example layout:

Preprocessing

The preprocessing includes different modality:

• Location
• Audio
• Physio

Location

To process the location data, we run the following:

cd location
taskset 100 python3 process_location.py

The above scripts process participant-based localization metric per minute. The available location types are:

• ns (nursing station)
• pat (patient room)
• other

Audio

To process the audio data and get the rating, we run the following:

cd arousal_rating
taskset 100 python3 process_fg_mask.py --fg_threshold 0.5
taskset 100 python3 process_baseline.py --fg_threshold 0.5
taskset 100 python3 process_rating.py --fg_threshold 0.5

fg_threshold defines posterior of the fg speech prediction.

• process_fg_mask.py: return fg features with fg posterior above threshold (default: 0.5)
• process_baseline.py: aggregate each participant's pitch, intensity, and HF/LF features
• process_rating.py: process ratings for each speech snippet

Speaking Patterns

To extract speaking patterns, use the following:

cd analysis
python3 process_shift_feat.py --fg_threshold 0.5
python3 extract_arousal_feat.py --fg_threshold 0.5

• process_shift_feat.py: process features for each segment in a shift
• extract_arousal_feat.py: extract features for each participant

Statistical analysis and dynamic plot

• compare_speaking_pattern.py: compare speaking patterns to shift, ICU/non-ICU
• plot_speaking_pattern.py: plot speaking patterns in a shift

Example plots about inter session time:

Example plots about speech activity occurrence at the nursing station:

Example plots about positive arousal speech ratio:

Example plots about negative arousal speech ratio:

ML experiments

python3 fitbit/process_fitbit_feature.py
cd ml
python3 extract_ml_feature.py --fg_threshold 0.5
python3 igtb_prediction.py --fg_threshold 0.5
