Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) - Medical*

Abstract

*Funded in PE 0602304E, Project COG-03 in FY 2012 The Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) program is developing automated information systems that identify group and individual trends indicative of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and anomaly detection algorithms that identify emerging physical and psychological crises. These will 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. The program is also developing 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.
