Investigating Group-Specific Models of Hospital Workers’ Well-Being: Implications for Algorithmic Bias

Abstract

Hospital workers often experience burnout due to the demanding job responsibilities and long work hours. Data yielding from ambulatory monitoring combined with machine learning algorithms can afford us a better understanding of the naturalistic processes that contribute to this burnout. Motivated by the challenges related to the accurate tracking of well-being in real-life, prior work has investigated group-specific machine learning (GS-ML) models that are tailored to groups of participants. We examine a novel GS-ML for estimating well-being from real-life multimodal measures collected in situ from hospital workers. In contrast to the majority of prior work that uses pre-determined clustering criteria, we propose an iterative procedure that refines participant clusters based on the representations learned by the GS-ML models. Motivated by prior work that highlights the differential impact of job demands on well-being …
