Grant: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program - Collaborative R&D Initiatives
University of Waterloo
$300,000.00
Intelligent Assistive Robots for Caregiving
FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-01
Summary
It is timely and necessary to develop a digital CGA (D-CGA) which can support remote in-home assessment. When patients are assessed in a clinic or hospital, they may experience stress and confusion which can complicate an accurate assessment. Further, clinicians currently lack opportunity to observe how a patient navigates their home. A D-CGA may provide higher quality and more accurate information to inform care planning. The consortium will develop a D-CGA at Home (D-CGA@home) that leverages remote digital transformation and AI analysis. The DGA@home platform will facilitate wider use of CGA in Canada and Japan to increase clinicians’ ability to support older adults to age in place.
