Fall detection and prevention
FY 2018-19 · 2018-08-01
Summary
Project is to develop a system that identifies biomarkers to predict Alzheimer Disease, a few years before the actual symptoms of the Neurodegenerative Disease (NDD) are fully apparent.
Machine Learning algorithms will be used on collected sensor data, recorded by ROVER, a wearable gait analysis device developed by Sensoplex.
The algorithms compare walking motion data of patients who have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer Disease (AD) against healthy individuals of same age and gender to find digital biomarkers that separate healthy subjects form the patients with MCI or AD.

Description
Project is to develop a system that identifies biomarkers to predict Alzheimer Disease, a few years before the actual symptoms of the Neurodegenerative Disease (NDD) are fully apparent.
Machine Learning algorithms will be used on collected sensor data, recorded by ROVER, a wearable gait analysis device developed by Sensoplex.
The algorithms compare walking motion data of patients who have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer Disease (AD) against healthy individuals of same age and gender to find digital biomarkers that separate healthy subjects form the patients with MCI or AD.
Description (French)
Le projet consiste à développer un système, qui identifie les biomarqueurs pour prédire la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA), quelques années avant que les symptômes réels de la maladie neurodégénérative (MND) ne soient pleinement apparents. Des algorithmes d'apprentissage automatique seront utilisés sur les données de capteurs collectées, enregistrées par ROVER, un appareil d'analyse de démarche portable développé par Sensoplex. Les algorithmes comparent les données de mouvements de marche de patients chez lesquels on a diagnostiqué un trouble léger de la cognition (TLC) ou maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) contre des individus sains du même âge et du même sexe pour trouver des biomarqueurs numériques, qui séparent les sujets sains des patients atteints de TLC ou de MA.
