In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are two important subsets of the assisted reproductive techniques, used for treatment infertility. Predicting implantation outcome IVF/ICSI or chance pregnancy is essential infertile couples, since these treatments complex expensive with a low probability conception. this cross-sectional study, data 486 patients were collected using census method. The dataset contains 29 variables along an identifier each patient that...

The International Society for Bipolar Disorders Targeting Cognition Task Force recommends the Screen Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP) to screen cognitive impairment bipolar disorder. However, SCIP must be administered by a healthcare professional, which is often impossible due time and resource constraints. Web-based, self-administered cognition screening tools may enable assessment monitoring of patients' at much larger scale reduced cost. For this purpose, we developed...

Background Cognitive functioning plays a significant role in individuals’ mental health, since fluctuations memory, attention, and executive functions influence their daily task performance. Existing digital cognitive assessment tools cannot be administered the wild test sets are not brief enough to capture frequent throughout day. The ubiquitous availability of mobile wearable devices may allow incorporation into suitable platform for real-world assessment. Objective aims this study were...

Mobile cognitive tests have been emerged to first, bring the assessments outside clinics and second, frequently measure individuals' performance in their free-living environment. Patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD) suffer from impairments poor sleep quality negatively affects performance. Wearables are capable of unobtrusively collecting multivariate data including activity features. In this study, we analyzed daily attention, working memory, executive functions patients BD healthy controls...

Cognitive functioning is a crucial aspect of the individual's mental health and it affects human's daily activities. We have developed Ubiquitous Assessment Tool (UbiCAT) including three cognitive assessment apps on Fitbit smartwatch. In this paper, we present design formative evaluation UbiCAT conducted with 5 participants who had background in and/or human-computer interaction. Moreover, investigated adoption wearable devices by our participants.

Affective disorder causes mood disturbance and includes depression bipolar disorder. Cognitive impairment is one of the determinants poor functioning in patients suffering from an affective For example, memory brings about confusion their daily life. Other cognitive domains include attention, executive function, psychomotor speed. function these are assessed by means neuropsychological tests such as California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) Trail Making (TMT) that used to examine verbal speed,...

Humor appreciation is one of the determinants individual's mood and can be assessed through jokes. We have developed a functional prototype called Humoris which asks users to select funniest punchline register their affective response Based on users' responses, application predicts displays short-term using emoticons. Our smartphone evaluated 'think-aloud' method with 9 participants. Usability was examined by System Scale questionnaire gave an average score 79.44 (SD=8.08). our findings,...

Digital tools have been developed to assess human cognitive functioning. It is unknown what degree users' test performance correlated with their perceived usability and load induced by interaction a tool. Moreover, the similarity between user groups in terms of subjective has not explored adequately despite its potential importance designing digital assessment for people from diverse background. This paper presents study two smartwatch-based tests participants' attention working memory. NASA...

The Ubiquitous Cognitive Assessment Tool (UbiCAT) is a wearable technology designed for 'in-the-wild' cognitive assessment. UbiCAT includes three smartwatch-based applications adapted from the Stroop color-word, n-back, and two-choice reaction time tests, respectively. aims to measure selective attention processing speed, working memory, inhibition control. can be used real-life assessment experiments on human performance. Within field of ubiquitous computing, it contributes cognition-aware systems.
