Title: Automated Physical Performance Battery as a Digital Marker for Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive ImpairmentPresenter: Ehsan Adeli (PI) Abstract: Historically, screening for incidence of AD-related MCI or conversion from MCI to AD dementia has relied on cognitive, activities of daily living, and brain imaging measures. Limitations of this diagnostic approach include dependency on education and language, time-consuming and costly measures, and long-term monitoring. Emerging studies suggest that non-tremor motor dysfunction in dementias is known to be highly associated with AD biomarkers, with signs of cognitive decline visible in gait and hand movement at various stages of the illness. With the evidence that gait and physical disturbances are early predictors of cognitive impairment and that their trajectories could readily be tracked, we utilize recent advances in computer vision (CV) to quantify mobility in a data-driven…
