I am currently researching the use of Information and Communication Technologies as tools for preventative care and diagnosis support in elderly population . Our current approach uses accelerometers and video sensors for the recognition of instrumental daily living activities (IADL, e.g., preparing coffee, making a phone call). Clinical studies have pointed the decline of elderly performance in IADL as a potential indicator of early symptoms of a dementia case (e.g., Alzheimer’s’ patients). IADL are modeled and detected using a constraint-based generic ontology (called SCREK). This ontology allows us to describe events based on spatial, temporal, and sensors data (e.g., MotionPOD) values.

I am currently researching the use of accelerometers and video data fusion for the recognition of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL, e.g., preparing coffee, making a phone call) in elderly population. We are interested in IADL as the decline in their performance have being pointed as relevant indicators of early symptoms of dementia, like Alzheimer.
I am currently researching the use of accelerometers and video camera data fusion for the recognition of instrumental daily living activities (IADL, e.g., preparing coffee, making a phone call) in elderly population. Difficulties in IADL performance have being pointed as a relevant factor for elderly patients’ dementia symptoms identification. This initiative is part of the SWEET-HOME project, which focuses on “technology assessment” and “preventative care” on Alzheimer disease (AD) in early stage and healthy patients.
