PROJECT SUMMARY: Overall More than 90% of older Americans would prefer to stay in their homes as long as possible as they age. However, the prevalence of chronic illness including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (ADRD) can make the goal of successful aging at home out of reach without substantial support. At- home health care technologies hold significant promise to provide many needed forms of support, but have not been specifically developed for older adults, AD/ADRD patients, caregivers, and their clinicians. Many existing health monitoring technologies are burdensome to use for older adults, are not sufficiently accurate, have specific algorithmic biases, and lack adequate usability, and the resulting deluge of data often fails to provide information that can usefully inform caregivers and support clinical decisions. Further, many current treatment and intervention regimes are limited in terms of their ability to be remotely delivered, managed and adapted to patient needs and caregiver abilities over time. The Massachusetts AI and Technology Center for Connected Care in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (MAITC) is a multidisciplinary Center spanning five sites – the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brandeis University and Northeastern University – that aims to foster interdisciplinary research on the development, validation and translation of emerging AI- enhanced technologies to enhance connections between older adults, caregivers, and clinicians in order to more effectively support healthy aging as well as the care of patients with AD/ADRD at home. To achieve this objective, MAITC will pursue the five aims. The first is to apply a rigorous process which involves eliciting stakeholder needs to drive the foci of pilot studies and identifying promising technologies suitable for incorporation into pilot research projects. The second is to form and support a multidisciplinary community of engineers, computer scientists, behavioral scientists, medical researchers, nurses and clinicians working to advance the goals of the MAITC. The third is to provide access to state-of-art validation facilities, diverse cohorts across rural and urban areas, and translation and commercialization services to enable rapid, robust and multi-faceted validation and translation of AI-enhanced technologies. The fourth is to administer a pilot project granting process and ensure that the pilot projects are responsive to stakeholder needs, use emerging AI and related technologies that have significant potential to improve interactions between older adults, lay caregivers, and clinicians. The fifth is to provide training to developers, clinicians, and other stakeholders and to disseminate findings to diverse research, development and practice communities to accelerate further development of promising technologies and promote the adoption of validated technologies beyond the MAITC. Through these coordinated efforts, we hope to improve the lives of older adults and their caregivers.

项目摘要：总体 超过90％的美国人希望尽可能长时间地留在家里。 但是，包括阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）和阿尔茨海默氏病有关的慢性疾病的患病率 痴呆症（ADRD）可以实现在没有大量支持的情况下，在家中成功衰老的目标。在- 家庭保健技术具有巨大的希望，可以提供许多需要的支持形式，但没有 专门针对老年人，AD/ADRD患者，看护人及其临床医生开发。许多存在 健康监测技术是为老年人使用的朴素，不够准确， 特定的算法偏见，并且缺乏足够的可用性，并且由此产生的数据通常无法提供 可以方便地告知护理人员并支持临床决策的信息。此外，许多目前的治疗 干预制度的远程交付，管理和适应的能力受到限制 随着时间的流逝，患者的需求和照料者能力。 马萨诸塞州AI和技术中心的衰老和阿尔茨海默氏病连接护理中心 （MAITC）是一个跨越五个地点的多学科中心 - 马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特大学，杨百翰 马萨诸塞州综合医院，布兰代斯大学和东北大学的妇女医院 - 这旨在促进有关新兴Ai的发展，验证和翻译的跨学科研究 增强技术以增强老年人，看护人和临床医生之间的联系，以便 更有效地支持健康的衰老以及在家中AD/ADRD患者的护理。实现这一目标 目标，MAITC将追求这五个目标。首先是应用一个严格的过程，涉及引起 利益相关者需要推动试点研究的焦点并确定适合的有前途的技术 纳入试点研究项目。第二个是形成和支持一个多学科社区 工程师，计算机科学家，行为科学家，医学研究人员，护士和临床医生 促进MAITC的目标。第三个是提供最先进的验证设施，潜水员 跨越粗糙和城市地区的人群，以及翻译和商业化服务，以实现快速，强大的 以及AI增强技术的多方面验证和翻译。第四是管理飞行员 项目授予流程并确保飞行员项目对利益相关者的需求有响应，并使用新兴 AI和相关技术具有改善老年人之间相互作用的巨大潜力， 护理人员和临床医生。第五是为开发商，临床医生和其他利益相关者以及 向潜水者的研究，发展和实践社区传播发现，以进一步加速 开发承诺技术，并促进采用经过验证的技术 MAITC。通过这些协调的努力，我们希望改善老年人及其看护人的生活。
