Biomedical Research Partnership – Intelligent Systems for Detection of Aging Changes (Poster)
Cognitive impairment in the elderly often goes undetected or treated due to a failure to assess the patient in a timely manner. Evolving sensor and other technologies now provide a means of early detection and intervention minimizing morbidity and cost. We hypothesized that integrated, continuous and unobtrusive home monitoring of activity (motor and cognitive) could detect transitional or early signal events important for maintaining cognitive and physical health. Outcome measures include total daily activity, walking speed, weekly hours of computer use, and inter-keystroke interval.
