Monitoring everyday abilities and cognitive health using pervasive technologies: Current state and prospect

Abstract

In this chapter, we provide an overview of technology-driven approaches to performing in-home cognitive assessment based on sensor data using measures of everyday function. We present examples of clinical findings that relate measures of everyday functioning to cognitive health and highlight different sensorbased approaches to monitor them. We argue that the sensor-based everyday behavior data can capture early indications of decline in cognitive health, and we present possible future research directions to develop an in-home sensor-based cognitive health monitoring system.
