Automated Social Interactive Interface to Monitor and Update Intervention Plans for People with MCI, Alzheimer's and Other Dementias

项目概要/摘要 这一快速通道SBIR申请由先进医疗电子公司提交。 一个软件系统，可以帮助患有轻度认知障碍、阿尔茨海默病和其他疾病的人 老年痴呆症的年龄，并给他们选择是否和何时移动。呆在家里， 更便宜，但有许多挑战需要克服。拟议的社会 交互式界面（SII），它使用增强智能与目标人口进行匡威， 自然语言和分析来自“物联网”设备的数据，将通过缓解这些挑战， 问题行为和照顾者负担;增加药物依从性;减少抑郁症，社会 隔离，因脱水和尿路感染而住院，从而降低 在乎SII将学习行为趋势，并确定日常生活活动是否完成。当 当发现异常行为时，它会提醒护理人员。如果SII确定可能发生行为问题， 那么它将提供及时的心理社会干预（例如，回忆疗法）。最后，SII将保持 时间表，提供即将发生的事件的提醒，以及错过事件时的警报。AME将与 SimpleC.在第一阶段，我们将建立社交互动界面的原型，并评估其可行性。在第二阶段， 我们将开发社交互动界面，将其与SimpleC平台整合，并评估其功效。

Project Summary/Abstract This fast track SBIR application submitted by Advanced Medical Electronics Corp. requests funds to develop a software system that helps people living with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and other dementia to age in place and give them the choice whether and when to move. Staying at home is both preferred and less expensive, but there are a number of challenges to overcome. The proposed social interactive interface (SII), which uses augmented intelligence to both converse with the target demographic in natural language and analyze data from “Internet of Things” devices, will address these challenges by relieving problem behaviors and caregiver burden; increasing medication adherence; and reducing depression, social isolation, hospitalizations due to dehydration and urinary tract infections, thereby reducing the overall cost of care. The SII will learn behavioral trends and determine whether activities of daily living are completed. When unusual behavior is detected, it will alert the caregiver. If the SII determines a behavior problem may occur, then it will provide a just-in-time psychosocial intervention (e.g., reminisce therapy). Finally, the SII will keep schedules, provide reminders of upcoming events, and alerts when events are missed. AME will partner with SimpleC. In phase 1, we will prototype the social interactive interface and evaluate its feasibility. In phase 2, we will develop the social interactive interface, integrate it with the SimpleC platform, and evaluate its efficacy.
