Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS)

Abstract

The Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) program developed automated information systems that identify group and individual trends indicative of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anomaly detection algorithms that identify emerging physical and psychological crises. These tools complement commercial offerings that 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 compliance, and so incorporates strong authentication and other security mechanisms as needed to protect patient data. Furthermore, users will opt-in prior to using the DCAPS tools, ensuring controlled access to personally identifiable information. The program developed partnerships with key DoD organizations working in this area and transition activities are underway with the Veterans Affairs Center for Innovation and the Defense Suicide Prevention Office.
