movements.
movements frequency of the patient, collected by the smart-watch using 3 axis-accelerometer that can detect movements in 3 dimensions. for example, number of steps taken.
Time frame: 12 months (july 2024-july 2025)
violence assessment with 'MOAS' score system.
using 'MOAS', the Modified Overt Aggression Scale score system filled by the department staff manually on each day and outburst description. the score system is made up of four categories (verbal aggression, aggression against objects, aggression against self, and aggression against others. each category is ranked by numbers. range of total score is between 0-40. higher score usually higher than 20 indicating more aggressive behavior which means worse outcome.
Time frame: 12 months (july 2024-july 2025)
