This paper presents a scale factor calibration method based on virtual accelerations generated by electrostatic force. This method uses a series of voltage signals to simulate the inertial forces caused by the acceleration input, rather than frequent and laborious calibrations with high-precision instruments. The error transfer model of this method is systematically analyzed, and the geometrical parameters of this novel micromachined resonant accelerometer (MRA) are optimized. The experimental results demonstrate that, referring to the traditional earth's gravitational field tumble calibration method, the error of the scale factor calibration is 0.46% within ±1 g by using our method. Moreover, the scale factor is compensated by virtual accelerations. After compensation, the maximum temperature drift of the scale factor decreases from 2.46 Hz/g to 1.02 Hz/g, with a temperature range from 40 °C to 80 °C.

Background: In Alzheimer's Disease trials, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) are commonly utilized as inclusionary criteria at screening. These measures, however, do not always reaffirm inclusionary status at baseline. Score changes between screening and baseline visits may imply potential score inflation at screening leading to inappropriate participant enrollment.

Signant Health, Blue Bell, PA, USA.

Background: The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a common screening tool in Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. MMSE score inflation at inclusionary visits poses challenges by potentially amplifying placebo responses and complicating the detection of treatment effects. Despite these concerns, prior research (e.

Background: Amid recent approvals, early Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains an active area of treatment development, but research on the utility of recruitment incentives in early AD trials remains limited. We examined how trial design features impact enrollment decisions among Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients and their family members.

Method: We performed a conjoint analysis experiment to compare early AD patients' preferences for trial features.

Background: Using artificial intelligence approaches enable automated assessment and analysis of speech biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, for example using chatbot technology. However, current chatbots often are unsuitable for people with cognitive impairment. Here, we implemented a user-centred-design approach to evaluate and improve usability of a chatbot system for automated speech assessments for people with preclinical, prodromal and early dementia.
