Definitions
- This invention relates to pain management. More specifically, it relates to translating speech patterns and video data into pain level quantifications and emotional states through computer-based processing.
- Pain is a complex phenomenon that is affected by multiple factors and expressed in multiple ways. Pain influences, and is influenced by, emotional health, stress, and fatigue. Like pain, emotions are not abstract feelings - they are felt in the body and influenced by bodily processes.
- the health care professional may order the patient to undergo unnecessary tests. For the patient, it is difficult to recall the exact nature and location of pain, particularly if its occurrence happens over a long period of time. Specific periods or moments may be recalled, but details of its occurrence (e.g. time, date, place), and variables (e.g. symptoms, medications) associated with it, before, during and after the occurrence of pain may go unreported.
- the present disclosure may address one or more of the problems and deficiencies in the art discussed above. However, it is contemplated that this disclosure may prove useful in addressing other problems and deficiencies in many technical areas. Therefore, the present application should not necessarily be construed as limited to addressing any of the problems or deficiencies discussed herein.
- the present invention is a mobile application for tracking interactions between pain, pain medication, fatigue, stress, and multiple emotions over time, and allowing patients to report these experiences in an effortless and engaging way.
- the application also captures patterns of speech and facial expressions, which deliver a readout of patients implicit (or unconscious) emotional state.
- the application is used by patients for self-monitoring and self-insight, and delivers interactive graphics to clinicians and care providers, providing an easy-to-digest picture of emotional health and pain over time.
- Embodiments disclosed herein include methods of quantitatively and qualitatively evaluating pain, as well as related steps.
- a method of evaluating pain including capturing multidimensional pain data including capturing speech and video data of a patient on a mobile computing device operated by the patient, capturing self-reported pain character and medication adherence by the patient, capturing emotional and psychological information from the patient, analyzing the speech and video data for indicia of bodily pain, analyzing the video data for face expression for indicia of bodily pain, quantifying the indicia of bodily pain into relative values, and reporting the relative values to a health care provider.
- a method of evaluating pain including wherein capturing speech and video data, as well as self-reported pain and medication adherence is collected as a first set of data by the patient during a first time period; and wherein capturing speech and video data, as well as self-reported pain and medication adherence is collected as a second set of data by the patient during a second time period; and wherein the first and second sets of data are received at a first computer connected to a computer network and transmitted to a pain tracking computer coupled to the computer network.
- a method of evaluating pain wherein the first and second sets of data transmitted to the pain tracking computer is at a different location from the first computer.
- a method of evaluating pain wherein the first and second sets of data is accessible by a health care professional at a location difference from the location of the patient and the location of the pain tracking computer.
- a method of evaluating pain wherein the emotional and psychological information include at least one of happy, unhappy, angry, depressed, anxious, fear, fear of pain, stressed, relaxed, tired, sad, relieved, apathy, low energy, no interest in doing things, and difficulty concentrating.
- a method of evaluating pain wherein the medication adherence includes the type of medication and the disease state for which it was prescribed.
- the speech data provides data on the quality of the patient’s speech which can include pressured speech, muted speech, halting speech patterns, and other indicia of pain found in speech.
- the video data provides data on the patient’s facial expressions and movements which provides information and other indicia of pain manifested in the patient’s face.
- a method of evaluating pain further including the step of obtaining at least one alarm condition and transmitting an alert when at least one of the alarm conditions have been met.
- a computer programmed to perform the methods described above to evaluate multidimensional pain values.
- a computer readable medium containing computer- executable instruction for performing the methods described above to evaluate multidimensional pain values.
- FIG. 1 shows chart data representative of healthy and chronic pain processes.
- FIG. 2 show thermal imaging of anthropomorphic shapes representative of differing emotional states.
- FIG. 3 is a mobile graphic user interface according to an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of information collected and transmitted to a health care provider.
- FIG. 5 depicts a system for tracking and displaying pain according to an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 6 depicts a method for tracking and displaying pain according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Any reference to a computer is contemplated to include tablets, mobile phones, computers, laptops, or any other device capable of computing.
- phrases“connected to” and“coupled to” refer to any form of interaction between two or more entities, including mechanical, electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, fluid, and thermal interaction. Two components may be connected or coupled to each other even though they are not in direct contact.
- Fig. 1 Chronic pain patients show abnormal and maladaptive response to life stressors (Fig. 1) resulting in depression, anxiety and emotional disorders that may in turn amplify pain level and affect their well-being.
- a stressor e.g., nociceptive pain
- Fig. 1 depicts the healthy adaptive process 102 and the maladaptive process of chronic pain 104.
- Fig. 1 also depicts the type of individual responses to chronic pain 106.
- the individual responses to chronic pain 106 may include: pain intensity, autonomic disturbance, sex drive, appetite, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, motor activity, and cognitive dysfunction.
- Fig. 2 Different emotions are consistently associated with separable bodily sensation maps (Fig. 2) and these bodily sensation maps changed from less to more specific, adult-like patterns as a function of age. Some physiological bases of this phenomenon are already discovered. For example, current research discovered that bidirectional brain-gut communication affects our emotions and the path could be used for treating depression and anxiety.
- Fig. 2 shows bodily topography of basic (Upper) and non-basic (Lower) emotions.
- the body maps show regions whose activation increased (10 to 15 range of grayscale) or decreased (-10 to -15 of the grayscale) when feeling each emotion.
- the present invention includes a mobile platform for tracking pain patient emotions based on following principles: simplicity, scientifically proven and clinically validated tools, real- time feedback for patients and clinicians.
- the app allows patients:
- this patient input 302 can provide timelines of pain 306 related emotional states, linked with other information, such as medication history 308, and overall quality of pain 304, back to the patient and to care providers as depicted in Fig. 3. This is also depicted in Fig. 4 as the pain and medication adherence tracking information 402 and emotional body maps 404.
- Fig. 4 To report symptoms, medical adherence and self-reported measurements of psychological health (e.g. depression, anxiety, emotional states, pain categorization) as depicted in Fig. 4 this is the patient psychological health 406.
- the mobile application provides valuable feedback about patients’ physical and emotional well-being, identifying patients at risk.
- Voice and speech data is analyzed using machine learning to determine the model that may take combinations of a multitude of speech features (characteristics).
- Fig. 3 shows a screenshot of the pain and emotions body maps in the patient input 302. A user can locate pain and multiple emotional states, into the appropriate body parts, estimating also the experienced intensity. Fig. 3 also shows an example of feedback provided to patient and clinician. An association between pain, emotions and medication.
- Fig. 4 provides a visual summary of the application and the feedback directions. Since body awareness therapy have a therapeutic effect in pain conditions, the personalized feedback for a patient, provided by the application, may serve as a treatment, improving a pain condition and general well-being.
- the patient 412 provides information on pain and medication adherence 402; emotional body map information 404; psychological health 406; speech and voice analysis 408; and face expression analysis 410. This information then is gathered in the cloud 414 or internet where the health care provider 416 can access it.
- the face expression analysis 410 in some embodiments is a picture taken by the patient of their face at the time they are entering information into the system which is then time coded.
- Fig. 5 depicts a system 500 for tracking and displaying pain in accordance with an embodiment of the claimed subject matter.
- a user enters wholistic information using an interface, such as through a mobile application 502.
- the wholistic information can then travel through a computer network 504 such as the internet, to a pain-tracking computer 506.
- the computer network 504 can be any network used to connect computers together.
- the pain tracking computer 506 contains an interface 508 for communicating with network 504 and a controller 510 for controlling the operation of the computer.
- a health care professional can also send and receive information to and from computer network 504 via a different web browser 508.
- Examples of browsers that can be used with the present invention include Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome.
- Browsers 502 and 508 can be installed on personal computers, personal digital assistants, smart phones, or any other wireless communication devices used to access a computer network.
- a replay generator 520 links together time-sequenced images of pain locations on a graphical display to allow a health care professional to visually observe pain migration and intensity. The time-sequenced images can be viewed from the physician or health care professional’s browser 508 or from another device.
- Pain tracking computer 506 can also alert the health care professional, or user patient, when a predetermined condition exists. For example, a health care professional may want to be alerted when the user takes a medication for more than 3 days, or if a stressor or emotional state has been logged into the system more than 3 times.
- An alarm limit database 522 can be located within pain tracking computer 506 and can store information relating to variables such as sleep and pain intensity and when an alert condition should be declared. Controller 510 may retrieve the information from database 522 and compare it to information provided by the user.
- the health care professional, user, or both may receive alert messages by communication channels such as e-mail, or text message.
- the health care professional or patient may rank or provide conditions for receiving alerts through the communication channels. For example, a health care professional may decide to first receive an e-mail message and to receive a text message 2 hours later if the health care professional does not respond to the e- mail message.
- the health care professional or patient may also elect to be alerted or certain conditions by one communication channel and other conditions by other communication channels, or to have such alerts diverted to other individuals.
- the communication channel corresponds to the urgency of the alert.
- Figure 6 shows a method for tracking pain migration.
- the user registers via the web site, or is registered by a properly authorized individual.
- the registration step may also be accomplished by telephone (e.g., by speaking to an operator or to an interactive-voice- response type system); by entering information on a web page; or any other mannerthat allows pain-tracking computer 506 to obtain information from the user.
- the user may setup an account in step 603.
- a user can specify pain tracking selection criteria (medications, foods, moods, stressors, etc.) as well as create user definable fields if desired.
- the selection criteria may be predefined by a health care provider, system operator or another party.
- the user can have their health care professional, or other authorized individuals, set up their account for them.
- the user may also set user preferences, such as links to family, friends, and groups. The user may choose to share their information and join forums and register for other services.
- step 604 the user enters pain information graphically through a user interface that permits the user to identify variables such as the location, intensity, characteristics of pain, and various wholistic variables such as mood and outside stressors.
- the user optionally answers questions regarding their lifestyle, symptoms other than pain related symptoms, and other questions that are specific to their treatment.
- step 608 the pain information for the user may be collected across a sequence of different time periods (e.g., hours, days, weeks, months, etc.) and stored in a database.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un cadre d'application mobile destiné à évaluer la douleur et l'état émotionnel d'un patient à distance. L'application mobile utilise un matériel existant communément dans des téléphones intelligents et des dispositifs de tablette, tels que des microphones et des caméras, en vue de capturer des paroles et des gestes qui forment des indices destinés à l'analyse informatique et à la quantification des niveaux de douleur et des états émotionnels de l'utilisateur. L'utilisateur peut être invité à lire un dialogue prédéfini standardisé à partir d'une population statistiquement significative, destiné à une analyse de la douleur et des émotions. De telles manifestations physiques d'indices de douleur sont ensuite mémorisées, transmises et rapportées à des prestataires de soins de santé en vue d'adapter des soins de patient ou d'initier une intervention. L'utilisateur peut également auto-rapporter la douleur et l'état émotionnel par l'intermédiaire de l'application mobile, laquelle fournit ainsi des données aussi bien subjectives qu'objectives à des prestataires de soins de santé. De plus, des valeurs auto-rapportées et calculées informatiquement peuvent permettre d'adapter un algorithme d'apprentissage automatique en vue d'améliorer la précision, à mesure que les données s'accumulent.
