IoT-Based Preventive Mental Health Using Knowledge Graphs and Standards for Better Well-Being

Abstract

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) give the UN a road map for development with Agenda 2030 as a target. SDG3 "Good Health and Well-Being" ensures healthy lives and promotes well-being for all ages. Digital technologies can support SDG3. Burnout and even depression could be reduced by encouraging better preventive health. Due to the lack of patient knowledge and focus to take care of their health, it is necessary to help patients before it is too late. New trends such as positive psychology and mindfulness are highly encouraged in the USA. Digital Twins (DTs) can help with the continuous monitoring of emotion using physiological signals (e.g., collected via wearables). DTs facilitate monitoring and provide constant health insight to improve quality of life and well-being with better personalization. Healthcare DTs challenges are standardizing data formats, communication protocols, and data exchange mechanisms. As an example, ISO has Internet of Things (IoT) and DTs Working Group. To achieve those data integration and knowledge challenges, we designed the Mental Health Knowledge Graph (KG) (ontology and dataset) to boost mental health; which acquires knowledge from ontology-based mental health projects classified within the LOV4IoT ontology catalog (Emotion, Depression, and Mental Health). Furthermore, the KG is mapped to standards from ETSI SmartM2M such as SAREF for eHealth Ageing Well domain to represent medical devices and sensors.
