Alzheimers Dement

Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, Seattle, WA, USA.
Background: Medical records present a rich potential source of information on the lived experiences of people with dementia. These records are extensive and the work of extracting relevant data is labor-intensive. We sought to determine whether we could use natural language processing (NLP) approaches to sift through medical records to prioritize an enriched subset of notes illuminating the lived experiences of people with dementia.

Background: People with dementia have complex palliative care needs including psycho-social, physical and spiritual; however, they are often unmet. It is important to empower people with dementia, family caregivers and professionals to work together to better assess and monitor ongoing needs. This study aimed to co-design and test the feasibility of an integrated model of palliative dementia care to support holistic assessment and decision making for care in the community and care homes (assisted living facilities).

Background: The rising demand for alternative dementia assessments, fueled by healthcare workforce shortages and the growing population of individuals affected with dementia, necessitates innovative approaches to address accessibility, logistics, and diverse populations. The utilization of robots in cognitive assessments emerges as a promising solution, promising efficiency and engagement, while navigating the complex landscape of dementia care challenges.
Method: Existing cognitive assessment tools were examined to develop a humanoid robot to deliver cognitive assessment.

Currently, there are no curative treatments for Alzheimer's Disease. It is crucial to develop screening tools that detect early signs of decline, allowing for timely interventions that may impede the progression of cognitive impairment. Neurospective is a mobile application platform designed to facilitate the early detection of cognitive decline, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).

To build on this foundation, our proposal introduces a home-based reminder system designed to further support PLWD in their daily lives.
Hypothesis: Memory aid technology, in particular reminder systems, can be developed to prospectively provide PLWD with autonomy and independence, to alleviate responsibilities and time commitments of caregivers and clinicians, and to enable remote behavioral monitoring.
