A Wearable Multimodal Sensing System for Tracking Changes in Pulmonary Fluid Status, Lung Sounds, and Respiratory Markers.

ABSTRACT: Heart failure (HF) exacerbations, characterized by pulmonary congestion and breathlessness, require frequent hospitalizations, often resulting in poor outcomes. Current methods for tracking lung fluid and respiratory distress are unable to produce continuous, holistic measures of cardiopulmonary health. We present a multimodal sensing system that captures bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), multi-channel lung sounds from four contact microphones, multi-frequency impedance pneumography (IP), temperature, and kinematics to track changes in cardiopulmonary status. We first validated the system on healthy subjects (n = 10) and then conducted a feasibility study on patients (n = 14) with HF in clinical settings. Three measurements were taken throughout the course of hospitalization, and parameters relevant to lung fluid status-the ratio of the resistances at 5 kHz to those at 150 kHz (K)-and respiratory timings (e.g., respiratory rate) were extracted. We found a statistically significant increase in K (p < 0.05) from admission to discharge and observed respiratory timings in physiologically plausible ranges. The IP-derived respiratory signals and lung sounds were sensitive enough to detect abnormal respiratory patterns (Cheyne-Stokes) and inspiratory crackles from patient recordings, respectively. We demonstrated that the proposed system is suitable for detecting changes in pulmonary fluid status and capturing high-quality respiratory signals and lung sounds in a clinical setting.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious mobile health (mHealth) studies have revealed significant links between depression and circadian rhythm features measured via wearables. However, the comprehensive impact of seasonal variations was not fully considered in these studies, potentially biasing interpretations in real-world settings.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the associations between depression severity and wearable-measured circadian rhythms while accounting for seasonal impacts.MethodsData were sourced from a large longitudinal mHealth study, wherein participants' depression severity was assessed biweekly using the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8), and participants' behaviors, including sleep, step count, and heart rate (HR), were tracked via Fitbit devices for up to 2 years. We extracted 12 circadian rhythm features from the 14-day Fitbit data preceding each PHQ-8 assessment, including cosinor variables, such as HR peak timing (HR acrophase), and nonparametric features, such as the onset of the most active continuous 10-hour period (M10 onset). To investigate the association between depression severity and circadian rhythms while also assessing the seasonal impacts, we used three nested linear mixed-effects models for each circadian rhythm feature: (1) incorporating the PHQ-8 score as an independent variable, (2) adding seasonality, and (3) adding an interaction term between season and the PHQ-8 score.ResultsAnalyzing 10,018 PHQ-8 records alongside Fitbit data from 543 participants (n=414, 76.2% female; median age 48, IQR 32-58 years), we found that after adjusting for seasonal effects, higher PHQ-8 scores were associated with reduced daily steps (β=-93.61, P<.001), increased sleep variability (β=0.96, P<.001), and delayed circadian rhythms (ie, sleep onset: β=0.55, P=.001; sleep offset: β=1.12, P<.001; M10 onset: β=0.73, P=.003; HR acrophase: β=0.71, P=.001). Notably, the negative association with daily steps was more pronounced in spring (β of PHQ-8 × spring = -31.51, P=.002) and summer (β of PHQ-8 × summer = -42.61, P<.001) compared with winter. Additionally, the significant correlation with delayed M10 onset was observed solely in summer (β of PHQ-8 × summer = 1.06, P=.008). Moreover, compared with winter, participants experienced a shorter sleep duration by 16.6 minutes, an increase in daily steps by 394.5, a delay in M10 onset by 20.5 minutes, and a delay in HR peak time by 67.9 minutes during summer.ConclusionsOur findings highlight significant seasonal influences on human circadian rhythms and their associations with depression, underscoring the importance of considering seasonal variations in mHealth research for real-world applications. This study also indicates the potential of wearable-measured circadian rhythms as digital biomarkers for depression.
