This project aims to address the impact of frailty on older adults, particularly its connection to cognitive impairments such as dementia. By identifying frailty in its early stages, interventions can be designed to slow down the progression of cognitive decline. To achieve this, the project plans to develop a reliable at-home monitoring system that can accurately track frailty in older adults with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. By utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as high-precision indoor positioning and home-installed sensors, referred to as zero-effort technologies (ZETs), the system will collect continuous sensor data, which will be analyzed to identify indicators of frailty.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - In-patients at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital (GRH) and GRH' visitors or staff (e.g. patients' caregivers, relatives, friends of older adults in-patient or staff at the GRH who are interested in participating) who are 65 years old or older - For in-patients who are pre-frail or frail according to the scale used at the GRH (can be equivalent to Fried's scale pre-frail/frail (score = 1 - 4). For GRH's visitors or staff, are robust according to Fried's Frail Scale (score=0) as per the definition in (Fried, 2001) - With or without some level of cognitive impairment (Standardized mini-mental state examination (MMSE) of 21 to 30 ("mild" (24-21) to "could be normal" (25-30)) or the equivalent in the screening tool. - Have a cognitive ability to interact with the frailty sensors (i.e. scale, dynamometer, smart speaker). - Have a functional vision and hearing with or without aides (glasses/hearing aids) to be able to interact with furniture and sensors at the ILS and to fill out questionnaires. - Have functional upper extremity function to be able to interact with furniture and sensors at the ILS. - Be able to walk independently 15 meters with or without a walking aid. - If taking antidepressants or narcotics, participants have no changes in the medication for at least 3 months Exclusion Criteria: - Those with a history of Parkinson's disease or other movement disorders or stroke. Justification: Movement disorders causing tremors will affect data collection by the sensors - Those who were taking Sinemet or Aricept - Older adults who have Influenza, long Covid-19 or another virus that affect their performance - Unable to count, speak (name objects and say numbers) or comprehend simple instructions in English - Have severe cardiac or respiratory diseases that prevent them to perform vigorous activities - Using supplemental oxygen (i.e., must be able to breathe with room air) |
