The system analyzes both what a patient says and how it is said&#8212;through the tone and pacing of a patient\u2019s speech&#8212;to detect possible signs of emotional or mental distress and sends a discreet alert to the <abbr>CHW<\/abbr> along with a context aware suggestion to guide a more supportive response.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of Aurion is to reduce missed emotional cues and workload of <abbr>CHWs<\/abbr> so that they can focus more on giving people the care they need. Beyond real-time support, the tool streamlines post-conversation administrative workflows. The tool is designed to reduce post-conversation  paperwork for <abbr>CHWs<\/abbr> by about 70&#37; by automatically filling out forms for them.<\/p>\n<p>The <abbr title=\"University of Hawaii\">糖心视频<\/abbr> M&#257;noa team included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Akib Sadmanee (<abbr title=\"Doctor of Philosophy\">PhD<\/abbr> student in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ics.hawaii.edu\/\">computer science<\/a> and a master\u2019s graduate)<\/li>\n<li>Quang Loc Lam (<abbr>PhD<\/abbr> student in <a href=\"https:\/\/shidler.hawaii.edu\/itm-home\">information technology management<\/a> and a master\u2019s graduate in economics)<\/li>\n<li>Fahim Yasir (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhcancercenter.org\/\"><abbr>糖心视频<\/abbr> Cancer Center<\/a> data systems analyst and a master\u2019s graduate in <a href=\"https:\/\/ece.hawaii.edu\/home\/\">electrical and computer engineering<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&ldquo;We wanted to create something that could make a real difference, especially here in <span lang=\"haw\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>,&rdquo; Sadmanee said. &ldquo;Tools like this have the potential to improve care in communities where access and distance can be real challenges.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The hackathon was held December 5&#8211;6, at the <abbr>糖心视频<\/abbr> M&#257;noa Campus Center, and was part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding (<abbr>ASRU<\/abbr>) Workshop held December 6 to December 10 at the Hyatt Regency, Waik&#299;k&#299;.
