Personalized linguistic summaries in smartphone-based monitoring of bipolar disorder patients

Abstract

Personalized linguistic summaries are developed with the use of protoforms in the sense of Yager and Kacprzyk. We discuss the construction and usefulness of such patientdependent and disease-state-dependent linguistic summaries that may be examplied as Most outgoing calls in mania state (disease period) are short compared to the calls recorded in the euthymia state (healthy period). Such linguistic summaries may become important features in the smartphonebased monitoring of the bipolar disorder patients and inform about the detected change in patient's state. The main advantage of the personalized linguistic summaries is their human-centricity. The performance of the proposed approach is illustrated with examples based on the real-life data collected within the observational study.
