Accurate deep-learning model to differentiate dementia severity and diagnosis using a portable electroencephalography device.

Scientific reports
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia pose significant health challenges in aging societies, emphasizing the need for accessible, cost-effective, and noninvasive diagnostic tools. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a promising biomarker, but trad...

Developing an explainable machine learning and fog computing-based visual rating scale for the prediction of dementia progression.

Scientific reports
Recently, dementia research has primarily concentrated on using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to develop learning models in processing and analyzing brain data. However, these models often cannot provide early detection of affected brain regions. ...

Multimodal Detection of Agitation in People With Dementia in Clinical Settings: Observational Pilot Study.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects millions worldwide, often accompanied by agitation and aggression (AA), which contribute to patient distress and increased health care burden. Existing assessment methods ...

Enhancing automated detection and classification of dementia in individuals with cognitive impairment using artificial intelligence techniques.

Scientific reports
Dementia is a degenerative and chronic disorder, increasingly prevalent among older adults, posing significant challenges in providing appropriate care. As the number of dementia cases continues to rise, delivering optimal care becomes more complex. ...

A dual path graph neural network framework for dementia diagnosis.

Scientific reports
Dementia typically results from damage to neural pathways and the consequent degeneration of neuronal connections. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely employed to model complex brain networks. However, leveraging the complementary temporal,...

Design of a Mobile App and a Clinical Trial Management System for Cognitive Health and Dementia Risk Reduction: User-Centered Design Approach.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: The rising prevalence of dementia is a major concern, with approximately 45% of cases linked to 14 modifiable risk factors. The European project LETHE aims to develop a personalized digital intervention model to delay or prevent cognitive...

Exploring Factors Related to Social Isolation Among Older Adults in the Predementia Stage Using Ecological Momentary Assessments and Actigraphy: Machine Learning Approach.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: As the global population ages, the economic burden of dementia continues to rise. Social isolation-which includes limited social interaction and feelings of loneliness-negatively affects cognitive function and is a significant risk factor...

Perspectives and Experiences of Family Caregivers Using Supportive Mobile Apps in Dementia Care: Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Research.

JMIR mHealth and uHealth
BACKGROUND: Supportive mobile apps are effective tools for family caregivers of persons with dementia to obtain online information and psychological support. Nevertheless, details about the experiences of family caregivers of persons with dementia us...

A multi-site randomized clinical trial of socially assistive robots on engaging older adults with cognitive impairment residing in long-term care settings: A protocol paper.

Contemporary clinical trials
Apathy is common in persons with dementias, especially those in long-term care facilities (LTCs). Few pharmacologic options exist; a major strategy is to foster engagement in social, physical, and cognitive activities, but requires extensive personne...

Evaluating the impact of human expertise in human-centered AI: A case study on finger-tapping video analysis for dementia detection.

Computers in biology and medicine
PURPOSE: Human-centered artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in medical research. This paper evaluates the impact of human expertise in AI systems, using dementia prediction as a case study. Specifically, plasma phospho-tau181 (ptau181) ...
