Penn Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory for Healthy Aging

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The overarching goal of our 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 collaboratory is motivated by the need for a comprehensive pipeline from technology-based monitoring of aging adults in the home, collection and processing monitoring data, integration of those data with clinical data from electronic health records, analysis with cutting-edge AI methods and software, and deployment of validated AI models at point of care for decision support. We have assembled a team of experts with experience building and implementing each component of this pipeline and will promote this vision and existing tools and software (AIM 1). A central focus of the PennAITech Collaboratory is to advance this vision through the solicitation, review, and funding of pilot grants focused on technology and AI development to advance the science of care management and aging in place for vulnerable older adults or those with AD/ADRD receiving skilled home and community-based services (AIM 2). Funded pilot projects will be supported in AIM 3 through cores focused on administration (Core A), stakeholder engagement (Core B), technology identification and training (Core C), clinical translation and validation (Core D), networking (Core E), and ethical and policy issues (Core H). Finally, the collaboratory will work closely with the planned coordinating center to facilitate the success and translation of all collaboratory projects (AIM 4). We are committed to improving the health of aging adults and those with AD/ADRD through these specific aims.
