Inter- and intra-rater reliability of cognitive assessment conducted by assistive robot for older adults living in the community: a preliminary study.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to reveal inter- and intra-rater reliability of the detailed evaluation of cognitive function by assistive robot for older adults.

Machine learning-based prediction of sarcopenia in community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults: findings from the CHARLS.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is a prominent issue among aging populations and associated with poor health outcomes. This study aimed to examine the predictive value of questionnaire and biomarker data for sarcopenia, and to further develop a user-friendly ...

Significance of plasma p-tau217 in predicting long-term dementia risk in older community residents: Insights from machine learning approaches.

Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association
INTRODUCTION: Whether plasma biomarkers play roles in predicting incident dementia among the general population is worth exploring.

Risk factors for prediabetes in community-dwelling adults: A generalized estimating equation logistic regression approach with natural language processing insights.

Research in nursing & health
The global prevalence of prediabetes is expected to reach 8.3% (587 million people) by 2045, with 70% of people with prediabetes developing diabetes during their lifetimes. We aimed to classify community-dwelling adults with a high risk for prediabet...

Exploration of a machine learning approach for diagnosing sarcopenia among Chinese community-dwelling older adults using sEMG-based data.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In the practical application of sarcopenia screening, there is a need for faster, time-saving, and community-friendly detection methods. The primary purpose of this study was to perform sarcopenia screening in community-dwelling older adu...

Can Socially Assistive Robots Be Accepted by Older People Living Alone in the Community?: Empirical Findings from a Social Work Project in China.

Journal of gerontological social work
A pilot study was undertaken between March 2019 and September 2021, loaning socially assistive robots (SARs) for a 7-day trial to older people living alone in China. Quantitative assessments of participants' acceptance of technology and loneliness we...

Fall risk classification with posturographic parameters in community-dwelling older adults: a machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Computerized posturography obtained in standing conditions has been applied to classify fall risk for older adults or disease groups. Combining machine learning (ML) approaches is superior to traditional regression analysis for its abilit...

Development and validation of a machine learning-based fall-related injury risk prediction model using nationwide claims database in Korean community-dwelling older population.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Falls impact over 25% of older adults annually, making fall prevention a critical public health focus. We aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based prediction model for serious fall-related injuries (FRIs) among community-dwe...

Using Interoperability between Mobile Robot and KNX Technology for Occupancy Monitoring in Smart Home Care.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
It is important for older and disabled people who live alone to be able to cope with the daily challenges of living at home. In order to support independent living, the Smart Home Care (SHC) concept offers the possibility of providing comfortable con...

Investigating the effectiveness of socially assistive robot on depression and cognitive functions of community dwelling older adults with cognitive impairments.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
We evaluated a socially assistive robot (SAR) named Hyodol during a six-week intervention. This study enrolled 69 older adults with cognitive decline. To screen the eligibility, we have used the following three criteria, namely Korean-Mini-Mental Sta...
