ROAMM: A customizable and interactive smartwatch platform for patient-generated health data

Published: 04 November 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Older citizens experience a large number of falls and hospitalizations per year throughout the world. These intervening health events (IHEs) such as falls/injuries, illnesses, hospitalizations, are strong precipitants of disability in older adults. They are episodic in nature, extremely difficult to study, and require continuous and long-term monitoring.
Wearable technologies with remote capabilities are an ideal solution for capturing information before and after such events. This work presents the ROAMM campaign platform for harnessing sensor and interface capabilities on smart wearables to provide customizable, affordable, and versatile health monitoring that leads to practical remote-based interventions. The platform is flexible, efficient, and scalable for concurrently running multiple studies, each of which consists of patient-reported outcomes, ecological momentary assessments and mental health-related patient responses. Additionally, the system is able to capture and derive ecological, momentary assessments of pain with concurrent mobility tracking that allows life-space mobility ascertainment. The platform supports multiple watches, and we show implementations on both the Samsung Galaxy and Apple series of smartwatches.
