Emerging Technology Category: The Emergency Technology category acknowledges innovators who have developed technology-driven tools showing great potential for improving care and/or the bottom line, even though they are not yet in the broad marketplace. Neursantys won top honors in this category for their pilot study with The Forum at Rancho San Antonio and LCS for their entry titled “NEURVESTA Vestibular Stimulation Therapy for Restoring Balance.” The study, involving 35 residents, showed that the protocol can enhance balance and lower the risk of falls, resulting in residents feeling more confident to participate in group outings and return to their exercise classes, and delaying the potential need for a higher level of care. Falls Prevention, Management or Detection: The Falls Prevention, Management or Detection category recognizes the use of technology that helps providers reduce the risk of…
Authors: Chelsea S Brown, Luna Dziewietin, Virginia Partridge, Jennifer Rae Myers Abstract Background: Given the high prevalence and cost of Alzheimer disease (AD), it is crucial to develop equitable interventions to address lifestyle factors associated with AD incidence (eg, depression). While lifestyle interventions show promise for reducing cognitive decline, culturally sensitive interventions are needed to ensure acceptability and engagement. Given the increased risk for AD and health care barriers among rural-residing older adults, tailoring interventions to align with rural culture and distinct needs is important to improve accessibility and adherence. Objective: This protocol aims to develop an intelligent recommendation system capable of identifying the optimal therapeutic music components to elicit engagement and resonate with diverse rural-residing older adults at risk for AD. Aim 1 is to develop culturally inclusive user personas for rural-residing older adults to understand…
Title: Improving Access to Dementia Care through AI-Powered Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy Authors: Jennifer Flexman Abstract: Forthcoming
Jennifer Flexman presented "Improving Access to Dementia Care though AI-Powered Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy" at the Technology And Dementia Preconference during Session 5: Data Blitz.
Abstract: To assess the mobility of a user, a mobility assessment system obtains a video of a user having a plurality of video frames from a camera. The mobility assessment system generates a three-dimensional (3D) skeleton model of the user based on the plurality of video frames, and determines a range of motion of the user based on a change in position of the 3D skeleton model over the plurality of video frames. Then the mobility assessment system provides an indication of the range of motion of the user for display. Also, the mobility assessment system delivers tailored exercises and suggestions to enhance user mobility and reduce the risk of falls. Source: US-12343138-B2
