Real-Time Emotional Dynamics Engine ### Overview -Captures and models short-term wellbeing fluctuations using Experience Sampling Methods (ESM/EMA) and IDELS emotion-coupling analysis. + +The Real-Time Emotional Dynamics Engine captures and models short-term fluctuations in wellbeing through Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and experience sampling methods. It implements the Intraindividual Dynamics of Emotion and Life Satisfaction (IDELS) framework to classify how momentary emotions couple with life satisfaction judgments at the within-person level. ### Key Capabilities -- **Experience Sampling (EMA)**: Collects momentary affect, context, and behavior 5–8 times/day via mobile prompts -- **Emotion Coupling (IDELS)**: Classifies intra-individual emotion–life satisfaction coupling into 4 types: positive, negative, decoupled, complex -- **Volatility Scoring**: Computes within-person emotional variability (MSSD, RMSSD, coefficient of variation) -- **Real-Time Alerts**: Flags participants whose volatility exceeds 2 SD above their personal baseline + +- **EMA / Experience Sampling**: Configurable sampling schedules (signal-contingent, interval-contingent, event-contingent) delivered via mobile push notifications. Supports 3-7 daily prompts with randomized timing windows. +- **IDELS Emotion-Coupling Classification**: Classifies each participant into one of four coupling types based on how momentary positive/negative affect relates to momentary life satisfaction: + - **Positive coupling**: Higher positive affect strongly predicts higher life satisfaction (and vice versa for negative affect) + - **Negative coupling**: Counter-normative pattern where negative affect associates with higher satisfaction (rare, context-dependent) + -

[Model Transparency and Confidence Interval Reporting](#7-model-transparency-and-confidence-interval-reporting) + +--- ## 1. IRB Compliance Framework -### Protocol Requirements -- All data collection activities operate under an approved Washington University IRB protocol -- Protocol amendments required before: adding new data types, changing sampling frequency, introducing new AI models that affect participant experience -- Annual continuing review with updated data flow diagrams and AI model inventory +### Governing Principles + +All data collection, processing, and analysis on the WELLab platform operates under Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval from Washington University in St. Louis. The platform is designed to make IRB compliance structural — built into the system architecture rather than relying on individual researcher adherence. -### Data Governance -- Designated data steward (PI or delegate) responsible for all participant data -- Data access requests reviewed by PI + IRB-approved data use committee -- External data sharing requires DUA (Data Use Agreement) and IRB approval +### IRB Protocol Requirements + +| Requirement | Implementation | +|-------------|----------------| +| Active protocol number | Stored in every Participant record (`consent.irb_protocol_id`). API rejects data submission without valid protocol. | +| Protocol expiration tracking | Automated alert 90 days before protocol expiration. Data collection halted if protocol lapses. | +| Amendments | Protocol amendments are version-tracked. System logs which consent version each participant signed. | +| Continuing review | Annual review checklists generated automatically from platform data (enrollment counts, adverse events, protocol deviations). | +| Adverse event reporting | Dedicated endpoint for logging adverse events. Automated notification to PI within 24 hours. | +| Protocol deviation logging | All deviations (e.g., data accessed outside protocol scope) are logged and flagged for PI review. | + +### Data Collection Boundaries + +- The platform will not collect data types not specified in the active IRB protocol. +- API validation enforces field-level restrictions — if a data field is not in the approved protocol, the API rejects it. +- Cross-cultural datasets imported from external sources (HRS, SHARE, ELSA) must have separate data use agreements on file. The system tracks which datasets are authorized for which analyses. + +### Human Subjects Protections + +- **Vulnerable populations**: If the study enrolls participants with cognitive impairment, the platform supports proxy consent workflows and simplified UI modes. +- **Withdrawal**: Participants can withdraw at any time via the app (Settings > Consent > Withdraw). Withdrawal triggers a cascade that halts data collection, flags existing data per protocol (retain de-identified or delete), and sends confirmation. +- **Compensation tracking**: If participants are compensated, the platform tracks EMA completion milestones and generates compensation reports (without linking to financial systems). --- ## 2. Informed Consent for AI-Driven Insights -### Consent Components -Participants must understand and consent to: -1. **Data collection**: What data is collected, how often, and how it's stored -2. **AI processing**: That their data will be analyzed by machine learning models -3. **Insight generation**: That AI-generated insights will be presented to them -4. **Limitations**: That AI insights are informational, not clinical diagnoses -5. **Data retention**: How long data is kept and when it's deleted -6. **Withdrawal rights**: They can withdraw at any time with full data deletion - -### Dynamic Consent -- Granular per-module consent (participants can opt into emotional dynamics but not cognitive assessment) -- Consent status stored in DynamoDB with full audit trail -- Re-consent prompted when: new modules added, AI models substantially change, new data sharing partners - -### Transparency Requirements -- Every AI-generated insight includes a "How we computed this" expandable section -- Model confidence levels shown where appropriate (e.g., "We're fairly confident...") -- Clear labeling: "AI-generated insight" vs. "Your reported data" +### Consent Architecture + +AI-generated insights represent a novel element of research participation that requires specific, informed consent. The platform separates AI consent from general study consent. + +### AI-Specific Consent Elements + +Participants are informed about and consent to each of the following: + +| Element | Plain Language Description Provided to Participant | +|---------|---------------------------------------------------| +| **AI-generated summaries** | "We use AI to create brief written summaries of your wellbeing patterns. These summaries are designed to be encouraging and informative, not diagnostic." | +| **Coupling classification** | "Our system identifies patterns in how your daily emotions relate to your overall satisfaction. This is a research classification, not a clinical assessment." | +| **Risk scoring** | "For participants in our cognitive health study, we compute a research-grade risk score. This score is for research purposes only and is not a medical diagnosis or prediction." | +| **Data used for AI** | "Your EMA responses, survey answers, and (if applicable) health information are processed by our AI system. No data is shared with external AI companies — all processing happens within our secure research infrastructure." | +| **Claude API usage** | "We use a commercial AI service (Anthropic Claude) to generate written summaries. Only aggregated, non-identifying data patterns are sent to this service. Your name, ID, and personal details are never included." | +| **Right to opt out** | "You can turn off AI-generated insights at any time in your app settings. This does not affect your participation in the study or your access to your own data." | + +### Consent Granularity + +The `consent.ai_insights_opt_in` field is a boolean, but the consent form provides granular detail. The platform also supports per-feature opt-outs: + +```json +{ + "ai_insights_opt_in": true, + "ai_preferences": { + "show_trend_summaries": true, + "show_strength_badges": true, + "show_trajectory_info": false, + "allow_claude_api_processing": true + } +} +``` + +### Re-Consent Triggers + +The platform triggers re-consent when: +- A new AI capability is added that was not described in the original consent. +- The AI model changes in a way that materially affects output (e.g., switching from Claude Sonnet to a different model family). +- The data types used for AI processing expand beyond original scope. +- IRB protocol amendment requires updated consent language. + +Re-consent is delivered via in-app notification with the updated consent form. Data collection continues under the original consent terms until the participant re-consents or opts out. --- ## 3. Cross-Cultural Fairness Auditing -### Pre-Deployment Audits -Before any model is deployed to production: +### Fairness Framework + +The platform audits all AI models for demographic fairness before deployment and on a monthly cadence. The goal is to ensure that model performance and outputs do not systematically disadvantage any demographic group. + +### Protected Attributes + +| Attribute | Categories Audited | +|-----------|--------------------| +| Age | 18-34, 35-49, 50-64, 65-79, 80+ | +| Sex | Male, Female, Intersex | +| Race/Ethnicity | White, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Multiracial, Other | +| Education | Less than HS, HS diploma, Some college, Bachelor's, Graduate/Professional | +| Country | All countries represented in dataset | +| Income bracket | Quintiles Q1-Q5 | + +### Fairness Metrics + +#### Demographic Parity + +For classification outputs (e.g., coupling type, risk category): + +``` +Demographic Parity Ratio = P(positive outcome | group A) / P(positive outcome | group B) + +Acceptable range: 0.80 - 1.25 (80% rule) +``` + +The platform computes this for every protected attribute × every classification output. + +#### Disparate Impact + +``` +Disparate Impact Ratio = (Selection rate for protected group) / (Selection rate for reference group) -1. **Demographic Parity Check** - - Positive prediction rate should not differ by > 5% across demographic groups - - Groups: sex, ethnicity, culture_group, age_band, education_level +Threshold: > 0.80 (per EEOC guidelines, adapted for research context) +``` -2. **Disparate Impact Assessment (4/5ths Rule)** - - Selection rate for any group ≥ 80% of the highest group's rate - - Applied to: risk classifications, intervention targeting, trajectory assignments +#### Equalized Odds -3. **Calibration Audit** - - Model probabilities should be well-calibrated within each demographic group - - Brier score decomposition by group +For predictive models (e.g., ADRD risk): -4. **Representation Check** - - Training data must include ≥ 30 participants per demographic group - - Under-represented groups flagged; model outputs carry uncertainty warnings +``` +True Positive Rate difference across groups < 0.05 +False Positive Rate difference across groups < 0.05 +``` -### Ongoing Monitoring -- Monthly automated fairness audit via `scripts/fairness_audit.py` -- Quarterly human review of audit reports by PI + ethics committee member -- Model retraining triggered if disparate impact ratio falls below 0.80 +#### Calibration -### Remediation -- If bias detected: model quarantined, root cause analysis, data augmentation or re-weighting, re-audit -- Remediation documented in audit trail with before/after metrics +Risk scores should be equally calibrated across groups: + +``` +For each risk decile, observed event rate should be similar across demographic groups. +Calibration slope per group: acceptable range 0.85 - 1.15 +``` + +### Fairness Audit Pipeline + +The `scripts/fairness_audit.py` script implements the following pipeline: + +``` +1.
