The app, which uses a general algorithm, could
be expanded to PTSD to monitor people over time
if speech and other signals are taken into account,
according to Pedja Neskovic, who oversees the
project in the Office of Naval Research.
“It can find patterns, not just in facial
expressions but in different kinds of data sets,
such as brain signals and speech, and it can
be used on a continuous basis,” he said. “It’s a
completely new world.”
William Unger, a PTSD expert and clinical
psychologist at the Providence VA Medical
Center, sees potential for an app to be used to help screen for PTSD if it can prove reliable for a
large population over time. It’s always good to
have additional tools, he said.
“This is a technology in its infancy. You don’t know
where it will go,” he said. “So does this science and
this study really then lead to additional questions,
additional technological developments which
help us to move forward? It very well may. So I’m
very excited, even though I’m saying it’s very far
off from having utility.”
M. David Rudd, an expert in suicide prevention
and PTSD in military personnel, is skeptical.
Rudd said he can’t see the extrapolation to PTSD,
calling it “a pretty big gap to leap.” He worries
about an app rendering erroneous results, a
concern Unger also expressed.
“It’s the introduction of technology where
technology is not particularly needed and not
particularly useful,” said Rudd, president of
the University of Memphis. “As a society, this is
what we do. It’s kind of the medicalization of a
problem that’s emotional and interpersonal in
nature. I just don’t get it.”

The Navy has been working with the researcher
who developed the algorithm for the app,
Guillermo Sapiro, for about 20 years, supporting
his research on image processing and data
analysis. The Navy has invested hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the app, Neskovic said.
PTSD often goes undiagnosed. Patients may
not recognize the link between their symptoms
and a traumatic event they experienced or may
not be willing to talk about that event, while
sometimes symptoms are obscured by other
issues, according to research published by the
American Academy of Family Physicians.
Some veterans don’t want to feel like there’s
something wrong with them and try to cope on
their own, Unger said.
The app, as it’s designed for autism, shows funny
videos designed to make children smile, laugh
or express emotions. The way their head, lips,
eyes and nose move is recorded, encoded and
analyzed with the camera and app. If a child isn’t
responding, that’s also classified.
Duke University is studying whether it’s feasible
for caregivers to screen kids for autism using
a mobile phone at home. The app can be
downloaded for free.

Unlike a tool like WebMD, where the user needs
to identify their symptoms and know the right
questions to ask, the app does the behavior
analysis automatically. The user just has to
watch the videos, said Sapiro, an electrical
engineering professor at Duke. He stressed that
the app isn’t meant to replace specialists; it’s a
pre-screening tool.
The institutional review board at Duke
approved the research. The initial results show
that people are willing to use the app and
they’re sending high-quality, usable videos,
Sapiro added.
Neskovic and Sapiro envision developing a
PTSD app within five years. They’re investigating
whether it could also possibly reveal signs of
mild traumatic brain injury and depression.

When it comes to emojis, the future is very,
very ... Face with Tears of Joy.
If you don’t know what that means then you: a)
aren’t a 14-year-old girl. b) love to hate those tiny
pictures that people text you all the time. Or c)
are nowhere near a smartphone or online chat.
Otherwise, here in 2016, it’s all emojis, all the
time. And Face with Tears of Joy, by the way, is a
bright yellow happy face with a classic, toothy
grin as tears fall.

The Face was chosen by Oxford Dictionaries
as its 2015 “word” of the year, based on its
popularity and reflecting the rise of emojis to
help charitable causes, promote businesses
and generally assist oh-so-many-more of us in
further expressing ourselves on social media
and in texts.
The Beyhive knows. The collective fan base of
Beyonce recently spammed Amber Rose with
little bumblebee emojis when they sensed a diss
of their queen.
Taco Bell also knows. Emoji overseers approved
a taco character last year after a yearlong campaign by the company to get one up and
running, rewarding users of said taco on Twitter
with gifts of free photos, GIFs and other virtual
playthings to celebrate.
So what’s it all about? Here’s a look at the past,
present and rosy future of emojis:
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
While there’s now a strict definition of emojis as
images created through standardized computer
coding that works across platforms, they have
many, many popular cousins by way of “stickers,”
which are images without the wonky back end.
Kimojis, the invention of Kim Kardashian, aren’t
technically emojis, for instance, at least in the
eyes of purists.
In tech lore, the great emoji explosion has
a grandfather in Japan and his name is
Shigetaka Kurita. He was inspired in the 1990s
by manja and kanji when he and others on a
team working to develop what is considered
the world’s first widespread mobile Internet
platform came up with some rudimentary

characters. They were working a good decade
before Apple developed a set of emojis for the
first iPhones.
Emojis are either loads of fun or the bane of
your existence. One thing is sure: There’s no
worry they’ll become a “language” in and of
