The application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to identify frailty within a residential aged care administrative data set.

International journal of medical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Research has shown that frailty, a geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of negative outcomes for older people, is highly prevalent among residents of residential aged care facilities (also called long term care facilitie...

Reliability and acceptability of using a social robot to carry out cognitive tests for community-dwelling older adults.

Geriatrics & gerontology international
AIM: To improve access to cognitive testing for older adults, the reliability and acceptability of a speech-based cognitive test administered by a social robot were investigated.

Higher Serum Endocan Level Is Associated with Alzheimer Disease.

Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders
BACKGROUND: The novel molecule endocan, which is released by endothelium and is regulated by proangiogenic and proinflammatory cytokines, may have a role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease (AD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the rela...

Comparing clinician descriptions of frailty and geriatric syndromes using electronic health records: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Geriatric syndromes, including frailty, are common in older adults and associated with adverse outcomes. We compared patients described in clinical notes as "frail" to other older adults with respect to geriatric syndrome burden and healt...

A Robotic Coach Architecture for Elder Care (ROCARE) Based on Multi-User Engagement Models.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The aging population with its concomitant medical conditions, physical and cognitive impairments, at a time of strained resources, establishes the urgent need to explore advanced technologies that may enhance function and quality of life. Recently, r...

Therapeutic effects of dog visits in nursing homes for the elderly.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that visiting dogs can have positive effects on elderly people in nursing homes. We wanted to study the effects of biweekly dog visits on sleep patterns and the psychiatric well-being of elderly people.

Artificial neural network and falls in community-dwellers: a new approach to identify the risk of recurrent falling?

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
BACKGROUND: Identification of the risk of recurrent falls is complex in older adults. The aim of this study was to examine the efficiency of 3 artificial neural networks (ANNs: multilayer perceptron [MLP], modified MLP, and neuroevolution of augmenti...

Genetic algorithm-based classifiers fusion for multisensor activity recognition of elderly people.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Activity recognition of an elderly person can be used to provide information and intelligent services to health care professionals, carers, elderly people, and their families so that the elderly people can remain at homes independently. This study in...
