In recent years, human activity recognition (HAR) has gained importance in several domains such as surveillance, recognizing indoor and outdoor activities, providing active assisted living environments smart homes healthcare services. all these scenarios, audio-, video- image-based processing algorithms have been applied well systems using wearable sensors. This scoping review focuses on audio- video-based for applications. We provide a comprehensive overview of technologies discuss their...

Falls are a leading cause of unintentional trauma-related deaths worldwide, and significant contributor to elderly dependence. To address this, the goal this project was predict recurrent falls in older population using machine learning techniques, with aim reducing number their consequences.To achieve dataset obtained from Getafe University Hospital's Geriatric Unit used (obtained Electronic Health Records). This extensive one key strengths our work. Feature extraction performed through...

The present paper describes a system for older people to self-administer the 30-s chair stand test (CST) at home without supervision. comprises low-cost sensor count sit-to-stand (SiSt) transitions, and an Android application guide through procedure. Two observational studies were conducted (i) in supervised environment (n = 7; m 83.29 years old, sd 4.19; 5 female), (ii) complete unsupervised one age 64-74 old; 3 female). participants asked perform CST with sensor, while member of research...

We aimed to co-create and evaluate an integrated system follow-up frailty in a community dwelling environment provide multi-modal tailored intervention. Frailty dependency among the older population are major challenge sustainability of healthcare systems. Special attention must be paid needs particularities frail persons as vulnerable group.To ensure solution fits all stakeholders' needs, we performed several participatory design activities with them, such pluralistic usability...

Background Frailty represents a state of susceptibility to stressors and constitutes dynamic process. Untreated, this can progress disability. Hence, timely detection alterations in patients’ frailty status is imperative institute prompt clinical interventions impede progression. With aim, the FACET (Frailty Care Well Function) technological ecosystem was developed provide clinically gathered data from home medical team for early intervention. Objective The aim study assess whether prevents...

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease with high prevalence among older people, and it related to an increased risk of functional cognitive decline, in addition classic micro macrovascular moderate increase the death. Technology aimed improve elder care quality life needs focus early detection monitoring evolution individuals providing ways foster physical activity, recommend adequate nutritional habits control polypharmacy. But apart from all these core features, some other elements or...

Population aging threatens the sustainability of welfare systems since it is not accompanied by an extended healthy and independent period in last years life. The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) has been shown to be efficient maintaining at end Frailty monitoring typically carried out for average 6 months clinical settings, while more regular could prevent transition disability. We present design process a system frailty home based on adapted CGA rationale behind its User eXperience...

Background: Scientific evidence supports that prevention strategies like multicomponent physical exercise help avoiding functional decline, falls and frailty. The robotic walker FriWalk, developed within the ACANTO project, execution of controlled activities during hospital admission to prevent deterioration associated prolonged bedrest. FriWalk shows in a clinical validation study positive relationship with improvement performance, basic daily living frailty status. Usability, acceptance...

Lower-limb strength is a marker of functional decline in elders. This work studies the feasibility using quasi-periodic nature distance between subjects’ back and chair backrest during 30-s chair–stand test (CST) to carry out unsupervised measurements based on readings from low-cost ultrasound sensor. The device comprises an sensor, Arduino UNO board, Bluetooth module. Sit-to-stand transitions are identified by filtering signal with moving minimum filter comparing output adaptive threshold....

Abstract Background POSITIVE ( i.e. maintaining and imPrOving the intrinSIc capaciTy Involving primary care caregiVErs ) is a new intervention program consisting of home-monitoring equipment communication platform to support treatment frailty symptoms initially in prevent disability older adults. Methods The objectives are estimate potential efficacy system on improving at least one point Fried’s criteria five points Frailty Trait Scale. secondary (A) assess recruitment, retention, drop-out...

Abstract Delirium is a sudden mental state that causes confusion and disorientation, affecting person's ability to think remember clearly. Virtual assistants are promising alternative for non-pharmacological interventions. This research aims present prototype of ADELA, conversational assistant prevent delirium in hospitalized older persons who speak Spanish. A co-creation process with medical experts identify requirements was carried out later develop the iteratively evaluate it from...

The increasing number of patients with acquired brain injury and the current subjectivity conventional upper extremity (UE) assessment tests require new objective techniques.This research proposes a novel motor (OMA) methodology based on Fugl-Meyer (FMA). goals are to automatically calculate scores (OSs) FMA-UE movements (as well as global OS) interpret estimated OSs.Fifteen participated in study. OMA algorithm was designed detect small-scale variations UE movements. OSs for 14 were...

Frailty predisposes older persons to adverse events, and information communication technologies can play a crucial role prevent them. CAPACITY provides means remotely monitor variables with high predictive power for enabling preventative personalized early interventions. This study aims at evaluating the usability, user experience, acceptance of novel mobile system disability. Usability was assessed using usability scale (SUS); experience questionnaire (UEQ); technology model (TAM)...

The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has Impact Factor 5.120 (2020 JCR, received June 2021)

Frailty is a reversible multidimensional syndrome that puts older people at high risk of adverse health outcomes. It has been proposed to emerge from the dysregulation complex system dynamics physiologic control systems. We propose analysis fractal complexity hand movements as new method detect frailty in adults. FRAIL scale and Fried's phenotype scores were calculated for 1209 subjects-72.4 (5.2) y.o. 569 women-and 1279 subjects-72.6 (5.3) 604 women-in pubicly available NHANES 2011-2014...

Abstract The operational environments in which a mobile robot executes its missions often exhibit nonflat terrain characteristics, encompassing outdoor and indoor settings featuring ramps slopes. In such scenarios, the conventional methodologies employed for localization encounter novel challenges limitations. This study delineates framework incorporating ground elevation incline considerations, deviating from traditional two‐dimensional paradigms that may falter contexts. our proposed...
