Official Title: Motion Analysis of Delirium in Intensive Care Units
Brief Summary: Delirium, as a common complication of hospitalization, poses significant health problems in hospitalized patients. Though about a third of delirium cases can benefit from intervention, detecting and predicting delirium is still very limited in practice. A common characterization of delirium is changes in activity level, causing patients to become hyperactive or hypoactive which is manifested in facial expressions and total body movements. This pilot study is designed to test the feasibility of a delirium detection system using movement data obtained from 3-axis wearable accelerometers and Microsoft Kinect sensor, in conjunction with electronics medical record (EMR) data to analyze the relation of whole-body movement as well as facial expressions with delirium.
