Trajectories of Anxiety Symptoms for COVID-19 Patients Using Multimodal Data Collected from Telemedicine.

ABSTRACT

We designed and developed Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) system specific for coronavirus (COVID-19) patients, and collected multimodal data. Using the collected data, we explored the trajectories of anxiety symptoms for 199 COVID-19 patients quarantined at home. Two classes were identified using latent class linear mixed model. Thirty-six patients showed an exacerbation of anxiety. Presence of initial psychological symptoms, pain on the start day of quarantine, and abdominal discomfort at one month after finishing the quarantine were associated with exacerbation of anxiety.
