Objective: The Daily Phonotrauma Index (DPI) can quantify pathophysiological mechanisms associated with daily voice use in individuals with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH). Since DPI was developed based on week-long ambulatory voice monitoring, this study investigated if DPI can achieve comparable performance using (1) short laboratory speech tasks and (2) fewer than seven days of ambulatory data. Method: An ambulatory voice monitoring system recorded the vocal function/behavior of 134 females with PVH and vocally healthy matched controls in two different conditions. In the lab, the participants read the first paragraph of the Rainbow Passage and produced spontaneous speech (in-lab data). They were then monitored for seven days (in-field data). Separate DPI models were trained from in-lab and in-field data using the standard deviation of the difference between the magnitude of the first two harmonics (H1-H2) and the skewness of neck-surface acceleration magnitude. First, 10-fold cross-validation evaluated classification performance of in-lab and in-field DPIs. Second, the effect of the number of ambulatory monitoring days on the accuracy of in-field DPI classification was quantified. Results: The average in-lab DPI accuracy computed from the Rainbow passage and spontaneous speech were, respectively, 57.9% and 48.9%, which are close to chance performance. The average classification accuracy of in-field DPI was significantly higher with a very large effect size (73.4%, Cohens D = 1.8). Second, the average in-field DPI accuracy increased from 66.5% for one day to 75.0% for seven days, with the gain of including an additional day on accuracy dropping below 1 percentage point after 4 days.
