II. RESEARCH AND SCHOLARLY ACTIVITIES

1. Nature and Significance of Research

My research is conducted between the domains of nursing and computer science and merges high tech smart environments with intentional high touch nursing care. I directed the expansion of a health-assistive smart home project to include engineered support for self-management of chronic conditions. Although prototype smart environments are already monitoring daily activities, computer scientists and clinicians know little about how to use information collaboratively to manage chronic conditions. I lead our team’s work to improve health self-management by developing smart environments that perform “information triage.” I translate sensor data into design graphics allowing clinicians to care for greater numbers of individuals through automated remote monitoring and allowing timely, individualized interventions. The primary objective is to partner smart environments with traditional clinical assessment and intervention to create smart homes that can assess well-being, detect health events, precisely intervene, and determine intervention impact. The driving hypothesis of my research and its translation is that machine learning algorithms can be trained with clinician assistance to perform automated individualized assessments and interventions. The end-goal is to create a healthcare-connected (clinician-in-the-loop) smart home that can be used to assist with managing chronic conditions, care transitions, aging-in-place, and the move to value-based care.

My contributions primarily impact research and are positioned to significantly impact future nursing practice. I designed the Fritz Method for translating sensor-based data collected on research participants with chronic conditions to map clinically relevant movement patterns, thereby linking home-based artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring to nursing practice. The Fritz Method is now deployed nationally and globally by research teams developing automated in-home health monitoring. My expert-guided approach to machine learning led to a prototype smart home with greater clinical efficacy positioned for real-world practice conditions. I


p. 4

simultaneously advocated for policies to protect vulnerable persons from privacy invasion and biased algorithms.

I expanded on the prior work of our multidisciplinary team, which historically focused on training a machine learning model to recognize older adults’ normal daily activities. Based on this pioneering work, I proposed we use existing knowledge regarding activity norms to discover clinically relevant changes in activity patterns (i.e., abnormal patterns representing a negative change in health status). We subsequently received a multiple primary investigator (MPI) research grant aimed at improving human health and in-home care delivery by developing a clinician-in-the-loop smart home capable of recognizing clinically relevant changes in chronic conditions (R01NR016732). [MPIs: Diane Cook, Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe, Fritz]

My research impacts practice by incorporating an algorithm that recognizes both simple and complex changes in health states. Techniques for developing these algorithms, including my methods for translating clinical knowledge for algorithm development and translating sensor data into clinical knowledge, are published in high-impact computer science and nursing journals and are heavily cited, showing scalability. I co-led the design of our clinical graphics tool displaying real-time changes in health states, which was featured on the cover of the Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics. I contributed a theoretically-informed methods framework to guide knowledge construction when developing clinical AI agents. It is used by multiple nurse scientists. Two articles and multiple conference presentations and symposia have been disseminated on this topic.

My research substantively impacts the nursing profession by showing that nurses are effective and essential to smart technology design. I am building on my prior research to advance knowledge, practice and policy by re-submitting two R01s focused on vulnerable populations (opioid use disorder; elderly immigrants) and leading, if funded, the clinical portion of a multidisciplinary NIH Center Grant with an RCT design aimed at testing smart home outcomes. I will lead interpretation of health events in sensor data to support algorithm development, enhancing our data reporting graphics, and comparing health outcomes with and without smart home use. This innovative research will expand the impact of pilot findings to test scalability across special populations with chronic conditions who are subject to health disparities.

Concurrent to these efforts, I highlight important ethical considerations and the need for policies regarding continuous monitoring and automated assessments of vulnerable populations. Findings from two of my prior studies demonstrate that cultural perspectives and traditions influence acceptance of smart home monitoring by persons viewing themselves as minority and/or older adults. I continue to be committed to raising privacy and security awareness and helping leaders, educators, policy advocates, and law makers navigate the unintended consequences of rapidly changing health technology environments.

2. Summary of Grant Funding at WSU

My program of research has been continually funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research since the first year I arrived at WSU. During my time at WSU, I have obtained $2,876,261 in total funding (external and internal). I received $2,768,651 in external funding


p. 5

from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Nursing Research and Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences, and from gerontology-focused private foundations such as Touchmark Foundation and the Sisters of St. Mary’s of Oregon. I received $107,610 in internal grants from WSU; $29,610 for gerontology-focused nursing research and $70,00 for campus infrastructure rapid computing upgrades.

I am primary investigator (PI) or co-PI on 9 current and past grants and co-investigator (co-I) on 2 that were obtained by my computer science partners (one external $911,651 and one internal $70,000). All grants include a multidisciplinary component that involves engineering, computer science, psychology, and nursing (except the COVID-19 study on homemade masks). Nine grants involve community stakeholders as research collaborators, including Touchmark (an international senior living corporation), Maryville Nursing Home (a non-profit facility in Beaverton, OR, and Asian Health and Services Center ([AHSC]; a non-profit community health center serving >16,000 immigrants in the Portland, OR metropolitan area).

This is my third most cited article (34 citations). I used what was later termed the Fritz Method to analyze health events that are reported in this article. I annotated ground truth for health events that were used in developing the reported machine learning models. I provided the clinical references and edited the final version of the article. This is a computer science conference paper. I am the sole nursing co-author and senior nurse scientist.

4Rachel Braley was a student of Dr. Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe located on the Pullman campus. She conducted a summer research project that I designed using qualitative methods to analyze archived smart home data. Dr. Schmitter-Edgecombe and I co-mentored her. The resulting publication in The Gerontologist exemplifies my ability to design a novel study and mentor a graduate student outside my discipline.

5Jessamyn Dahmen was Dr. Diane Cook’s PhD computer science student on the Pullman campus. She asked me to join her committee during her last year and used health and sensor data obtained through my grant funding, and that I collected and interpreted, to train a machine learning algorithm to recognize changes in health states. Her dissertation and associated publications exemplify the work resulting from my clinician-in-the-loop study and application of the Fritz Method.
