仅用可穿戴设备生理信号,实现老人情绪精准识别。

Emotion Detection in Older Adults Using Physiological Signals from Wearable Sensors

  • 通过可穿戴传感器采集生理数据,用传统机器学习模型预测情绪强度。
  • 情绪回归任务最高达0.782 r²,均方误差低至0.0006。
  • 无需摄像头,适合阿尔茨海默病患者等隐私敏感人群使用。

老年人情绪检测对理解其认知与情感健康至关重要,尤其在医院和养老环境中。本文提出一种基于边缘计算、非侵入式的表情识别方法,仅利用可穿戴传感器获取的生理信号。数据集包含40名老年人的数据,采用Empatica E4和Shimmer3 GSR+腕带采集生理信号,并通过iMotion的面部表情分析(FEA)模块记录面部表情。数据涵盖十二类情绪强度。研究目标是仅通过生理信号实现情绪识别,无需摄像头或侵入式面部分析。通过经典机器学习模型,基于生理信号预测情绪强度,回归任务中最高达到0.782 r²,最低均方误差为0.0006。该方法对阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症(ADRD)患者,以及患有创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)或其它认知障碍的退伍军人具有重要意义。多模型实验验证了该方法的可行性,为真实场景下隐私保护且高效的的情绪识别系统提供支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Emotion detection in older adults is crucial for understanding their cognitive and emotional well-being, especially in hospital and assisted living environments. In this work, we investigate an edge-based, non-obtrusive approach to emotion identification that uses only physiological signals obtained via wearable sensors. Our dataset includes data from 40 older individuals. Emotional states were obtained using physiological signals from the Empatica E4 and Shimmer3 GSR+ wristband and facial expressions were recorded using camera-based emotion recognition with the iMotion's Facial Expression Analysis (FEA) module. The dataset also contains twelve emotion categories in terms of relative intensities. We aim to study how well emotion recognition can be accomplished using simply physiological sensor data, without the requirement for cameras or intrusive facial analysis. By leveraging classical machine learning models, we predict the intensity of emotional responses based on physiological signals. We achieved the highest 0.782 r2 score with the lowest 0.0006 MSE on the regression task. This method has significant implications for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD), as well as veterans coping with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other cognitive impairments. Our results across multiple classical regression models validate the feasibility of this method, paving the way for privacy-preserving and efficient emotion recognition systems in real-world settings.
