● Effect of interval and leeway on corrs.
○ correlates the highest at 28 days
○ increasing leeway, decreasing corrs.
54. Towards a Holistic Assessment

non-smoking, drinking alcohol daily (PRO)
● Diligent responder
○ Answered the questionnaires three times
○ Wore the Fitbit 794 days (141 valid)

○ Third wave (Summer 2019): better
PROs TechROs
55. coQoL: Methodological Quantitative Approach
Feasibility of coQoL in Quantifying PRO-TechRO
● Groups of relationships between PRO and TechRO
● Data quality and its effects on the relationships above
● Holistic view across PROs and TechROs for an individual
Primary Study Limitation
● Small sample restricting analysis complexity
○ Only rank correlations without adjustments for multiple tests
○ Guidance for future studies that can discard trivial effects
Towards Personalized Medicine
● Wearable monitoring of TechRO daily life behaviours in time and context
○ When the TechRO behaviour changes, trigger specific PRO (e.g., ESM/EMA)

coQoL
Step 1A: Compute PRO scores
Step 1B: Select TechRO aggregations
Step 2: Align PROs and TechROs in time Step 3A: Select PRO variables
Step 3B: Select TechRO variables
Step 4: Construct pairwise PRO-TechRO sets
Step 5: Co-calibrate (via correlation)
62. coQoL Step 1/4: Computation and Aggregation
PRO computation
● Computed scores directly
TechRO aggregation
● Different monitoring intervals
○ 7, 14, 28, 60, 90, 120 days
● Inclusion criteria
○ Having 70%+ days with 21+ hours
63. coQoL Step 2/4: Alignments and Leeways
Alignments
● Pairwise PRO-TechRO variables
○ Using TechRO interval end date and PRO
administration date as criterion
○ Restricting to one answer per participant
per wave (the last wave)
Leeways
● Allow days before the alignment
○ 0, 7, 14, 28, 60, 90, 120
○ Accommodates missing data
64. coQoL Step 3/4: Variables
PRO Variables
● Variables: self-reported items and scores
TechRO Variables
● Absolute amount
○ Raw behavioural markers: energy, steps,
heart rate
○ Processed behavioural markers: durations
of sedentary, light, fair, vigorous, sleep
○ Variable: interval median
● Relative amount
○ Behavioural Markers: sedentary, light, fair,
vigorous, and sleep durations
○ Per-day compositions: centered log ratios
○ Variable: interval geometric mean
65. coQoL Step 4/4: Co-Calibration
Qualitative Assessment
● See differences in PROs / TechROs
○ Used profile items as differentiators
○ Used health status (healthy or mild disease),
gender, and country
Quantitative Assessment
● Correlate pairs of PRO-TechRO vars
○ We used Spearman (rS
) correlation
○ Significant at p < 0.05, no adjustment
○ We only want to see patterns
● Use pattern metrics
○ Number of correlations above 0.5
○ Contours of correlations above 0.8
