Fear of falling is a geriatric condition that must be understood from both a clinical perspective and from the environment in which older adults live. This review aimed to describe the scientific evidence reported in the last 5 years regarding the fear of falling in older adults and its relationship with environmental factors. The relationships between fear of falling and environmental factors are mainly evidenced in the built environment. Older adults with a fear of falling are described as perceiving the built environment as dangerous when they do not meet the requirements of safety, accessibility, and comfort; they also report the importance of living in communities with controlled crime levels and available social support for older adults to improve their insecurity and feelings of vulnerability.

“…У пожилых людей c деменцией легкой степени оценивалась динамика показателей тревожности, качества ходьбы и связанного с ней страха падения при использовании белого шума во время движения. По итогам исследования было выявлено незначительное увеличение продолжительности и качества ходьбы, однако показатели тревоги и страха падения при передвижении значительно снизились [15]. Значимое положительное влияние белого шума на проявления стресса и качество сна было оценено в исследовании G. M. Kim и соавт.…”

Sound has enormous influence on human organism. Different types of sound vibrations have both positive and negative effects on peoples health. This review highlights that sound is important factor for health regulation with the emphasis on cognitive functions and mental activity. Also, we describe strategies of using sound in treatment of neurological diseases, anxiety disorders, depressions, and social rehabilitation. Sound influence and its exploit are examined on different levels: ultrasound, infrasound, white noise, music and nature sounds. Finally, our review has shown sound great potential in treatment of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, postoperative rehabilitation, and cognitive functions improvement. We propose the implementation of acoustic monitoring and music therapy as substantial components of rehabilitation medicine.

“…In addition to more objectively and continuously assessing NPSs, digital technologies may also have an important role in identifying the precipitants of NPSs. In particular, environmental conditions (eg, light, noise, and temperature) may be stimulating or mediating factors in the emergence of NPSs [ 20 - 22 ]. Therefore, including environmental sensing technology in the home technology assessment suite may provide additional, important, linked information in the eventual assessment and treatment of NPSs, because the environment may be readily modified if any of these factors are found to play a role in stimulating or sustaining NPSs.…”

Background Apathy, depression, and anxiety are prevalent neuropsychiatric symptoms experienced by older adults. Early detection, prevention, and intervention may improve outcomes. Objective We aim to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying web-based weekly questionnaires inquiring about the behavioral symptoms of older adults with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or early-stage dementia and to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying an in-home technology platform for measuring participant behaviors and their environment. Methods The target population of this study is older adults with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or early-stage dementia. This is an observational, longitudinal study with a study period of up to 9 months. The severity of participant behavioral symptoms (apathy, depression, and anxiety) was self-reported weekly through web-based surveys. Participants’ digital biomarkers were continuously collected at their personal residences and through wearables throughout the duration of the study. The indoor physical environment at each residence, such as light level, noise level, temperature, humidity, or air quality, was also measured using indoor environmental sensors. Feasibility was examined, and preliminary correlation analysis between the level of symptoms and the digital biomarkers and between the level of symptoms and the indoor environment was performed. Results At 13 months after recruitment began, a total of 9 participants had enrolled into this study. The participants showed high adherence rates in completing the weekly questionnaires (response rate: 275/278, 98.9%), and data collection using the digital technology appeared feasible and acceptable to the participants with few exceptions. Participants’ severity of behavioral symptoms fluctuated from week to week. Preliminary results show that the duration of sleep onset and noise level are positively correlated with the anxiety level in a subset of our participants. Conclusions This study is a step toward more frequent assessment of older adults’ behavioral symptoms and holistic in situ monitoring of older adults’ behaviors and their living environment. The goal of this study is to facilitate the development of objective digital biomarkers of neuropsychiatric symptoms and to identify in-home environmental factors that contribute to these symptoms.
