Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work with patients with PD to improve speech intelligibility using various intensive in-clinic speech treatments. SLPs also prescribe home exercises to enhance generalization of speech strategies outside of the treatment room. Even though speech therapies are found to be highly effective in improving vocal loudness and speech quality, patients with PD find it difficult to follow the prescribed exercise regimes outside the clinic and to continue exercises once the treatment is completed. SLPs need techniques to monitor compliance and accuracy of their patients' exercises at home and in ecologically valid communication situations. We have designed EchoWear, a smartwatch-based system, to remotely monitor speech and voice exercises as prescribed by SLPs. We conducted a study of 6 individuals; three with PD and three healthy controls. To assess the performance of EchoWear technology compared with high-quality audio equipment obtained in a speech laboratory. Our preliminary analysis shows promising outcomes for using EchoWear in speech therapies for people with PD.","PeriodicalId":102963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the conference on Wireless Health","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124982781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several intervention strategies have been designed to improve conversational skills, but assessing conversations and determining strategy effectiveness often prove to be complicated and time-consuming processes. In this paper, we present: (i) a lightweight smartphone-based conversational turn monitoring system which automatically measures turn-taking statistics of speakers involved in a conversation (thus significantly reducing the labor involved in determining intervention success); (ii) evaluations of the effectiveness of our proposed monitoring system using several collected conversational traces; (iii) a customizable Android application developed to teach students how to conduct conversations; and (iv) preliminary evaluations of the effectiveness of the Android application in improving the communication skills of adolescents with ASD/speech/language deficits using two unique communication skill rubrics designed by our speech therapist. Our preliminary evaluations show promising results of our proposed low-cost hybrid monitoring solution for tracking the conversational skills of students with communication skill deficits.","PeriodicalId":102963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the conference on Wireless Health","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131399754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However manual food journaling is burdensome, and crowd-assisted food journaling has been explored to ease user burden. The crowd-assisted journaling uses a label & verify approach where an end-user uploads his/her food image and paid crowd-workers label content of the image. Then another set of crowd-workers verify the labels for correctness. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach where we label food images with only high performing labelers. Since high performing labelers generally provide good quality labels, our approach achieves high accuracy without verifying the food labels for correctness. We also propose a machine learning algorithm to automatically identify high performing crowd-labelers from a dataset of 3925 images collected over 5 months. Such automated identification of high performing workers and elimination of needless verification reduce cost of food labeling. Specially for large scale deployments where large number of images need to be labeled, our approach can reduce overall expenses by half.","PeriodicalId":102963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the conference on Wireless Health","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130433109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Voice therapy has been found to help improve voice and speech in individuals with PD, but the majority of these individuals do not enroll in voice therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine whether watching short videos about voice symptoms and treatment in Parkinson's disease influences readiness to change, stages of change, and self-efficacy in individuals with PD. Eight individuals with PD participated in the study. Fifteen videos were chosen, three representing each of the five stages of change. We chose videos from YouTube that represented variety in speakers, content, and genre. We found that readiness to change significantly increased after watching videos, suggesting that watching videos helped these individuals move closer to actively improving their voice and speech. In addition, five of the eight participants showed forward movement in stages of change. Finally, self-efficacy demonstrated a positive trend following video watching. Overall, our results demonstrate that watching videos available on the internet can influence individuals with Parkinson's disease in changing vocal behavior. Implications for future wireless health applications are described.","PeriodicalId":102963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the conference on Wireless Health","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127752386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
