Agitation, a critical behavioral and psychological symptom in dementia, has profound impact on patients' quality of life as well their caregivers'. Autonomous objective characterization agitation with multimodal systems the potential to capture key patient responses or triggers.In this article, we describe our system design that encompasses contextual parameters, physiological parameters. This is first include all three these facets an n > 1 study. Using combination fixed wearable sensors...
Abstract Wearable electroencephalography (EEG) devices emerge as a cost-effective and ergonomic alternative to gold standard polysomnography, paving the way for better health monitoring sleep disorder screening. Machine learning allows automate stage classification, but trust reliability issues have hampered its adoption in clinical applications. Estimating uncertainty is crucial factor enhancing by identifying regions of heightened diminished confidence. In this study, we investigated...
Abstract Background and Objectives The number of people with dementia is expected to triple 152 million in 2050, 90% having accompanying behavioral psychological symptoms (BPSD). Agitation among the most critical BPSD can lead decreased quality life for their caregivers. This study aims explore objective quantification agitation by analyzing relationships between physiological movement data from wearables observational measures agitation. Research Design Methods presented here 30 dementia,...
Summary Wearable electroencephalography devices emerge as a cost‐effective and ergonomic alternative to gold‐standard polysomnography, paving the way for better health monitoring sleep disorder screening. Machine learning allows automate stage classification, but trust reliability issues have hampered its adoption in clinical applications. Estimating uncertainty is crucial factor enhancing by identifying regions of heightened diminished confidence. In this study, we used an...
Abstract Introduction Growing evidence suggest a bidirectional relationship between circadian and sleep regulation, the pathology progression of dementia. Behavioral psychological symptoms dementia (BPSD) are very prevalent, lead to an enormous disease burden in patients, families caregivers. Indications for possible disruption regulation emotions behavior dementia, can be found phenomenon known as ‘sundowning’, exacerbation neuropsychiatric during late afternoon early evening. Aggression...
Abstract Introduction Nocturnal hallucinations can be part of a wide array different disorders, like sleep disorders (e.g. narcolepsy), visual impairment Charles-Bonnet syndrome), neurodegenerative Lewy Body Dementia) and psychiatric schizophrenia). We explore the differential diagnosis, challenging diagnostic workup limited therapeutic options in this patient with complex nocturnal hallucinations. Report Cases: A 64 year old woman was referred detailed vivid (seeing her dog smoking cigar,...
