PROJECT SUMMARY: Aging Pilot Core The Aging Pilot Core is one of the principal mechanisms by which the Massachusetts AI and Technology Center for Connected Care in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (MAITC) will achieve its overarching goal to develop and test emerging AI-enhanced technologies that promote healthy aging, especially for vulnerable groups at high risk for health problems and poor quality of life. The Aging Pilot Core will draw on the collective clinical, scientific, and technical expertise within MAITC and the valuable input of our Stakeholder Core and Industry Advisory Board to complete the following specific aims: 1) Solicit and select the most meritorious pilot studies that will develop and test novel AI-enhanced technologies to support the independence, health, and well-being of older adults; 2) Provide mentorship, oversight, and resource supports for pilot project investigators; 3) Assist pilot project investigators in refining their research methods and translating their technologies for clinical, industry, and research use. The Aging Pilot Core Lead (Dr. Margie Lachman) and Co- investigator (Dr. Julie Lauffenburger) will work with the MAITC’s other core leaders to coordinate and oversee the pilot project process. The Aging Pilot Core will solicit pilot projects from the training programs, departments, and centers at universities and research institutions across the nation, drawing on an extensive pool of existing investigators who have expertise in areas such as gerontology, geriatrics, technology, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Example aging-related pilot projects include: (1) Increasing and maintaining functional health and independence in later life by monitoring physical activity and sleep; (2) Improving mental health and delivery of care via technologies that increase social connectedness; and (3) Improving chronic illness management through integrated monitoring and telehealth platforms. Once selected, each pilot project leader will be assigned two mentors who will provide research guidance and facilitate access to needed resources. The Aging Pilot Core will work with the other MIATC cores and the AITC Coordinating Center to ensure scientific integrity, rigor and reproducibility, and to facilitate IRB approvals, human subject safety, financial management, and regulatory approvals. The Aging Pilot Core will help pilot investigators identify critical next steps to move their innovations closer to clinical and research use. To this end, we will provide resources to pilot investigators to refine their technologies, make industry contacts, and develop new grant proposals to accelerate the movement of novel technologies towards the ultimate goal of the Aging Pilot Core—to improve the care and quality of life for older adults.

项目摘要：老化飞行员核心 老化的飞行员核心是马萨诸塞州AI和技术的主要机制之一 衰老和阿尔茨海默氏病（MAITC）的互联护理中心（MAITC）将实现其总体目标 开发和测试促进健康衰老的新兴AI增强技术，尤其是针对脆弱的技术 对健康问题和生活质量差的高风险。老化的飞行员核心将借鉴集体 MAITC内的临床，科学和技术专长以及我们利益相关者核心的宝贵意见以及 行业咨询委员会完成以下具体目标：1）征求并选择最有功的飞行员 将开发和测试新型AI增强技术的研究，以支持独立性，健康和 老年人的福祉； 2）为飞行员项目提供精神制，监督和资源支持 调查人员； 3）协助飞行员项目调查人员完善其研究方法并翻译他们的 用于临床，工业和研究用途的技术。老化的飞行员核心铅（Margie Lachman博士）和共同 调查员（Julie Lauffenburger博士）将与MAITC的其他核心领导人合作以协调和监督 试点项目过程。老化的飞行员核心将从培训计划，部门， 以及全国大学和研究机构的中心，利用大量现有 在老年病，老年医学，技术，计算机科学和等领域具有专业知识的研究人员 人工智能。示例与衰老相关的试点项目包括：（1）增加和维持功能 通过监测体育锻炼和睡眠，健康和独立性； （2）改善心理健康和 通过增加社会联系的技术提供护理； （3）改善慢性病 通过集成监控和远程医疗平台进行管理。一旦选择，每个试点项目负责人 将分配两名指导者，他们将提供研究指导并促进访问所需的资源。 老化的飞行员核心将与其他MIATC核心和AITC协调中心合作，以确保 科学完整性，严格和可重复性，并促进IRB批准，人类主题安全，财务 管理和法规批准。老化的飞行员核心将帮助飞行员调查人员确定关键下一步 将其创新移动到临床和研究用途附近的步骤。为此，我们将提供资源 试点调查人员以完善其技术，建立行业联系并制定新的赠款建议 加速新技术向老化飞行员核心的最终目标的运动 - 改善 老年人的护理和生活质量。
