UTI & Delirium Behavioral Prodrome Detection

Flags the pattern — extra night bathroom trips, poor sleep, less activity — that precedes infection.

Strong theory Strong theory live in runtime

The physics is solid; our own validation is scheduled.

Each behaviour leaves its own trace in the WiFi field: trips to the bathroom, restless movement in bed, quieter days than usual. None of these alone means anything. When several drift away from that person's own normal at the same time, the system tells the family or nurse it may be worth a check-up.

In the physics: Each behavior has a distinct observable: bathroom visits are RTI transition events on the bedroom-bathroom path; sleep fragmentation is elevated in-bed Doppler burst rate; apathy is reduced total daily Doppler energy; hesitancy is increased micro-Doppler dwell at doorway transitions. No single signal is diagnostic — the correlated multi-axis deviation from the resident's own manifold is.

How the field becomes an answer

RTI transition counting + Doppler activity/sleep features adaptive PCA manifold per resident with rolling 30-day baseline MVE anomaly scoring on the joint feature vector CUSUM over 2-5 days (UTI prodrome timescale) with cross-room z-score transfer for new residents.

How we prove it

WiMANS/OPERAnet for the activity feature layer; own retrospective pilot: deploy in 20 units for 6 months, align anomaly scores against nursing records of UTI/delirium diagnoses (target: median 3-day lead time).

Who it is for

For geriatric nurse practitioners and value-based-care operators: 'The house calls the doctor before the confusion starts' — a 72-hour head start on the #1 cause of avoidable elderly hospitalization.
