PREDICT

The purpose of this research study is to identify signs of posttraumatic stress symptoms from video and audio data. We believe that this will provide a more accurate PTSD risk prediction and will help clinicians identify patients who are at risk of developing PTSD in the future.

This study will be able to help doctors in the future implement the right treatment while patients are still in the Emergency Department. Earlier identification of PTSD risk will not only reduce the risk of developing PTSD, but it can also reduce the burden for patients in the Emergency Department, as well as reduce downstream health care costs.

We will use video and audio data to identify signs like tone of voice, head movement, eye movement, and facial expressivity that provide information about PTSD risk. Furthermore, we will use information collected from participants’ medical records, such as vitals (i.e., heart rate or blood pressure) at the time of admission to the Emergency Department.
