Analyzing the video diaries recorded by women up to and including 15 weeks pregnant and women who are trying to become pregnant, to understand their emotions during that period.


The Better Understanding the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy (BUMP) study was designed to derive novel insights and a deeper understanding of the pre-pregnancy and pregnancy experience with an aim to follow eight core symptoms (emesis, fatigue, edema, mood, cognition, dyspnea, gait, and blood pressure changes) through the use of connected devices such as wearable devices, smart home scales, and smartphone apps.
To analyze the mood experienced by women during this major period of change and provide them knowledge and support.

How can we better understand and provide support to pregnant women and women trying to conceive.

Every participant in the study is requested to record a video of themselves describing their emotions and symptoms they experience everyday.

These video diaries are first analyzed for their quality using the QA/QC pipeline.

Then the audio is extracted from the video and translated to text for sentiment analysis.

The video is used for emotion detection using the latest computer vision techniques.
