RECRUITINGDemonstrate equivalency of the proposed IoT system against ADCS-ADL/23 Assessment
The ADCS-ADL/23 assessment will be utilized to measure changes in activities of daily living in the sample population while BC's system is also in place independently measuring the changes in activities of daily living.
Time frame: 18 months
Identify improved sensitivities for detection of early and moderate-stage AD/ADRD activities of daily living changes
AI techniques will search sensor data for subfactor and novel groupings for statistically significant improvements from what is measured by the ADCS/ADL-23 assessment of decline.
Time frame: 18 months
Establish initial data sets and protocols for use of the developed ADL/IADL system data for integration with AD/ADRD research
Database structures and meta-data will be established for anonymous data sets.
Time frame: 18 months
