Characterising physical activity patterns in community-dwelling older adults using digital phenotyping: a 2-week observational study protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) is crucial for older adults' well-being and mitigating health risks. Encouraging active lifestyles requires a deeper understanding of the factors influencing PA, which conventional approaches often overlook by ass...

Machine Learning Models for Frailty Classification of Older Adults in Northern Thailand: Model Development and Validation Study.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Frailty is defined as a clinical state of increased vulnerability due to the age-associated decline of an individual's physical function resulting in increased morbidity and mortality when exposed to acute stressors. Early identification ...

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Method Using Vocal Biomarkers for Identifying Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Study.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The two most commonly used methods to identify frailty are the frailty phenotype and the frailty index. However, both methods have limitations in clinical application. In addition, methods for measuring frailty have not yet been standardi...

A hierarchy category of socially assistive robots' functions: Insights from older adults.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Socially assistive robots (SARs) are increasingly recognized for their potential in helping older adults age in place. Effectively meeting the diverse needs of older adults requires a proper classification of SARs' functions. However, existing functi...

Evaluating Human-Robot Interactions to Support Healthy Aging-in-Place.

Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society
Declines in older adults' cognitive and physical health pose challenges to maintaining their independence. Robots can improve independent living and facilitate aging-in-place. Despite recent innovations in healthcare robotics, the use of robots has n...

A Machine Learning-Based Prediction Model for the Probability of Fall Risk Among Chinese Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Computers, informatics, nursing : CIN
Fall is a common adverse event among older adults. This study aimed to identify essential fall factors and develop a machine learning-based prediction model to predict the fall risk category among community-dwelling older adults, leading to earlier i...

Relationship of Community Mobility, Vital Space, and Faller Status in Older Adults.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
UNLABELLED: Community mobility, encompassing both active (e.g., walking) and passive (e.g., driving) transport, plays a crucial role in maintaining autonomy and social interaction among older adults. This study aimed to quantify community mobility in...

Screening for frequent hospitalization risk among community-dwelling older adult between 2016 and 2023: machine learning-driven item selection, scoring system development, and prospective validation.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Screening for frequent hospitalizations in the community can help prevent super-utilizers from growing in the inpatient population. However, the determinants of frequent hospitalizations have not been systematically examined, their operat...

Gender-specific aspects of socialisation and risk of cardiovascular disease among community-dwelling older adults: a prospective cohort study using machine learning algorithms and a conventional method.

Journal of epidemiology and community health
BACKGROUND: Gender influences cardiovascular disease (CVD) through norms, social relations, roles and behaviours. This study identified gender-specific aspects of socialisation associated with CVD.

Development and validation of a machine learning-based diagnostic model for Parkinson's disease in community-dwelling populations: Evidence from the China health and retirement longitudinal study (CHARLS).

Parkinsonism & related disorders
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a major neurodegenerative disorder in Middle-aged and elderly people.There is a pressing need for effective predictive models, particularly in chinese population.
