A Preliminary Usability Evaluation of an Artificial Intelligence-Based, Motion-Detecting Wearable Device: The Geriatric Functional Assessment System.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences
BACKGROUND: Physical function is a key determinant of independence among older adults. Yet, there are barriers to assessing physical function in clinic. We developed a wearable geriatric functional assessment system (GFAS) that quickly and effortless...

Machine learning-enabled risk prediction of self-neglect among community-dwelling older adults in China.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society
BACKGROUND: Elder self-neglect (ESN) is usually ignored as a private problem and impairs the health outcomes of older adults. It is essential to construct a robust and efficient tool for risk prediction which can better detect and prevent self-neglec...

Analysis of In-Home Movement Patterns for Depression Assessment in Older Adults - A Feasibility Study.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Depression significantly impacts the wellbeing of older Australians, posing considerable challenges to their overall quality of life. This study aimed to detect in-home movement patterns of participants that could be indicative of depressive states. ...

Drug Burden Index Is a Modifiable Predictor of 30-Day Hospitalization in Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Complex Care Needs: Machine Learning Analysis of InterRAI Data.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences
BACKGROUND: Older adults (≥65 years) account for a disproportionately high proportion of hospitalization and in-hospital mortality, some of which may be avoidable. Although machine learning (ML) models have already been built and validated for predic...

The use of natural language processing for the identification of ageing syndromes including sarcopenia, frailty and falls in electronic healthcare records: a systematic review.

Age and ageing
BACKGROUND: Recording and coding of ageing syndromes in hospital records is known to be suboptimal. Natural Language Processing algorithms may be useful to identify diagnoses in electronic healthcare records to improve the recording and coding of the...

Introducing a machine learning algorithm for delirium prediction-the Supporting SURgery with GEriatric Co-Management and AI project (SURGE-Ahead).

Age and ageing
INTRODUCTION: Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older patients, with an incidence of 14-56%. To implement preventative procedures, it is necessary to identify patients at risk for POD. In the present study, we aimed to develop...

Predictors of Toxicity Among Older Adults with Cancer.

Seminars in radiation oncology
An increasing number of cancer patients are of advanced age as the incidence of cancer increases with age. In this article, the clinical predictors of toxicity that may help in treatment selection are addressed, as well as mitigators of toxicity. The...

Implementation of a Tool for the Assessment of the Frail Elderly in a Robotic Agent.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The concern for aging, chronic illness, and dependence is relevant in today's society. The Nursing discipline is responsible for its approach to care. Furthermore, this profession must develop technologies to assist. The main objective is the develop...

Artificial Neural Networks Help to Better Understand the Interplay Between Cognition, Mediterranean Diet, and Physical Performance: Clues from TRELONG Study.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
BACKGROUND: Nutrition plays an important role in the aging process. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been shown to be associated with lower rates of diseases. Cognitive status seems to be strongly interrelated with physical well-bein...

Design, analysis and performance evaluation of a hand gesture platform for navigation.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Prevailing technological solutions that address the problems that are experienced by the infirm and elderly people in terms of locomotion needs, offer limited options when it comes to control mechanism and customization. For more than a decade, joyst...
