Technology Identification and Training Core

The overarching goal of the proposed Penn Artificial Intelligence and Technology (PennAITech) Collaboratory is to identify, develop, evaluate, commercialize, and disseminate innovative technology for monitoring aging adults and those with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias (ADRD) in their home environment and the artificial intelligence (AI) methods and software for analyzing data generated by those technologies. The Technology Identification and Training Core (Core C) is proposed here to advance the goal of the PennAITech Collaboratory by identifying new AI algorithms and technology based on the needs of aging Americans and developing training opportunities to facilitate their adoption and use in the pilot funding programs. To advance this mission, we have five aims. In Aim 1, we will identify AI methods and technology to address the needs of older Americans from extant literature via combining automated natural language processing and human expert curation. In Aim 2, we will identify AI methods and technology to address the needs of older Americans via engaging and collaborating with stake holders and academic/industry experts. In Aim 3, we will develop courses and training modules on AI concepts and technology for clinicians and home care professionals and to teach AI and technology developers about the clinical and user needs. In Aim 4, we will create a web portal and build a central resource and knowledge base for technology identification and training. In Aim 5, we will provide AI and technology identification and training support for pilot grant applicants and awardees to assist them with their innovative projects. We are committed to supporting the pilot funding programs and the overall PennAITech Collaboratory for improving the health of aging adults and those with AD/ADRD through these specific aims.
