Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) - Medical*
Abstract
*Formerly Healing Heroes - Medical. Previously funded in PE 0602304E, Project COG-03. The Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) program will develop automated information systems that identify group and individual trends indicative of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), anomaly detection algorithms to identify emerging physical and psychological crises, and provide guided access to information and educational materials. This will complement commercial on-line resources, interactive media, and social networks that supplement traditional healthcare options but have not focused on issues specific to the warfighter. DCAPS recognizes that security and privacy are critical to user acceptance and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance and so will incorporate strong authentication and other security mechanisms as needed to protect patient data. The program will also develop partnerships with key DoD organizations working in this area, including the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury, the Defense Medical Research and Development Program, the Army Telemedicine & Advanced Technologies Research Center, and the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology.
