Abstract

A method, a structure, and a computer system for traumatic event detection. The exemplary embodiments may include collecting data using sensors worn by a user and identifying a traumatic event based on applying a model to the data, wherein the model correlates values of the data with traumatic events and traumatic brain injuries. The exemplary embodiments may further include identifying the traumatic brain injury resulting from the traumatic event.

First claim

1 . A computer-implemented method for traumatic event detection, the method comprising:
collecting data using sensors worn by a user; identifying a traumatic event based on applying a model to the data, wherein the model correlates values of the data with traumatic events and traumatic brain injuries; and identifying the traumatic brain injury resulting from the traumatic event.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sensors are selected from a group consisting of a contact lens, an earplug, a watch, an adhesive patch, an implantable, and a smart device.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the collected data is selected from a group consisting of accelerometer data, pressure data, stress data, strain data, pulse O2 data, heart rate data, respiration data, and skin conductivity data.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the collected data further comprises cognitive assessment measures, and wherein the cognitive assessment measures are collected via the user completing a questionnaire, interpretation, or drawing.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
estimating a direction and a magnitude of the traumatic event.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein estimating the direction and the magnitude of the traumatic event is based on differential signalling of the sensors on at least two of a front, a back, and a side of the user.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving feedback indicative of whether the identified traumatic brain injury was correctly identified, and adjusting the model based on the received feedback.

8 . A computer program product for traumatic event detection, the computer program product comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
collecting data using sensors worn by a user;
identifying a traumatic event based on applying a model to the data, wherein the model correlates values of the data with traumatic events and traumatic brain injuries; and
identifying the traumatic brain injury resulting from the traumatic event.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the sensors are selected from a group consisting of a contact lens, an earplug, a watch, an adhesive patch, an implantable, and a smart device.

10 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the collected data is selected from a group consisting of accelerometer data, pressure data, stress data, strain data, pulse O2 data, heart rate data, respiration data, and skin conductivity data.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the collected data further comprises cognitive assessment measures, and wherein the cognitive assessment measures are collected via the user completing a questionnaire, interpretation, or drawing.

12 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising:
estimating a direction and a magnitude of the traumatic event.

13 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein estimating the direction and the magnitude of the traumatic event is based on differential signalling of the sensors on at least two of a front, a back, and a side of the user.

14 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving feedback indicative of whether the identified traumatic brain injury was correctly identified, and adjusting the model based on the received feedback.

15 . A computer system for traumatic event detection, the system comprising:
one or more computer processors, one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more of the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
collecting data using sensors worn by a user;
identifying a traumatic event based on applying a model to the data, wherein the model correlates values of the data with traumatic events and traumatic brain injuries; and
identifying the traumatic brain injury resulting from the traumatic event.

16 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the sensors are selected from a group consisting of a contact lens, an earplug, a watch, an adhesive patch, an implantable, and a smart device.

17 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the collected data is selected from a group consisting of accelerometer data, pressure data, stress data, strain data, pulse O2 data, heart rate data, respiration data, and skin conductivity data.

18 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the collected data further comprises cognitive assessment measures, and wherein the cognitive assessment measures are collected via the user completing a questionnaire, interpretation, or drawing.

19 . The computer system of claim 15 , further comprising:
estimating a direction and a magnitude of the traumatic event.

20 . The computer system of claim 19 , wherein estimating the direction and the magnitude of the traumatic event is based on differential signalling of the sensors on at least two of a front, a back, and a side of the user.
