Development of Teaching Materials of Dementia by Incorporating a Communications Robot for Schoolchildren Who Are Dementia Supporters.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this study, we aimed to teach elementary school students how to practically deal with elderly people with dementia and developed and evaluated teaching materials using a communication robot called Pepper. The teaching material used the robot to mo...

Data Mining and Machine Learning Methods for Dementia Research.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Patient data in clinical research often includes large amounts of structured information, such as neuroimaging data, neuropsychological test results, and demographic variables. Given the various sources of information, we can develop computerized met...

Modelling engagement in dementia through behaviour. Contribution for socially interactive robotics.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present a novel tool to measure engagement in people with dementia playing board games and interacting with a social robot, Pleo. We carried out two studies to reach a comprehensive inventory of behaviours accounting for engagement ...

Investigating the Effect of Social Robot Embodiment.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The experiment described in this paper is an early assessment to identify if the embodiment of a verbal and visual user interaction system in a robot is more effective in people with dementia than when using the same system in a simple laptop. This s...

Design of a Behavior of Robot That Attracts the Interest of the Mildly Demented Elderly.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this study, using the unexpected intervention overturning the interaction amount of the field and the mental model, an interaction of a robot system that enables sustained nonverbal communication with the mildly demented elderly was proposed and i...

Development of a Late-Life Dementia Prediction Index with Supervised Machine Learning in the Population-Based CAIDE Study.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a late-life dementia prediction model using a novel validated supervised machine learning method, the Disease State Index (DSI), in the Finnish population-based CAIDE study.

The Utilization of Robotic Pets in Dementia Care.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
BACKGROUND: Behavioral problems may affect individuals with dementia, increasing the cost and burden of care. Pet therapy has been known to be emotionally beneficial for many years. Robotic pets have been shown to have similar positive effects withou...

Comparison of Feature Selection Techniques in Machine Learning for Anatomical Brain MRI in Dementia.

Neuroinformatics
We present a comparative split-half resampling analysis of various data driven feature selection and classification methods for the whole brain voxel-based classification analysis of anatomical magnetic resonance images. We compared support vector ma...
