Feasibility of In-Home Sensor Monitoring to Detect Mild Cognitive Impairment in Aging Military Veterans: Prospective Observational Study

Abstract: Background Aging military veterans are an important and growing population who are at an elevated risk for developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer dementia, which emerge insidiously and progress gradually. Traditional clinic-based assessments are administered infrequently, making these visits less ideal to capture the earliest signals of cognitive and daily functioning decline in older adults. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the … Show more

“…All participants were provided written informed consent and had been previously enrolled in ongoing longitudinal studies of aging and in-home monitoring (www.orcatech.com) [21]. Participants were 69 community-dwelling older adults recruited from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul-Bloomington, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon metropolitan areas.…”

“…The protocols were approved by the Minneapolis VA Health Care System's (MVAHCS) Institutional Review Board (IRB; #4748-A and #VAM-18-00328), the University of Minnesota's IRB (#STUDY0003177), and the Oregon Health and Science University's (OHSU) IRB (#19378). Of the 69 participants, 44 were classified as cognitively intact and 25 were classified as MCI using established clinical and research measures [21], consistent with the NIA-AA workgroup criteria. Eligibility criteria were 65 years of age or older, living independently (living with a companion or spouse was allowed, but not as a caregiver),…”

“…Investment in technology to support dementia care is growing as demand for human and financial resources to support care outpaces its supply (AARP and National Alliance for Caregiving 2020 ). The functions of technological tools range widely, including activities of daily living (ADL) assistance, behavioral and health monitoring, cognitive assistance and monitoring, and environmental and emotional support (Choi et al 2019 ; Seelye et al 2020 ; Piau et al 2019 ; Czaja et al 2019 ; Orlov 2019 ). While ethical implications of the use of technologies for people living with dementia have been slow to come into focus (Ienca et al 2018 ; Robillard et al 2018 ; Novitzky et al 2015 ), issues such as autonomy, informed consent with dementia, dignity, and distributive justice, along with threats to values like privacy and identity, are beginning to receive heightened attention in the literature (Meiland et al 2017 ; Robillard et al 2018 ; Mulvenna et al 2017 ; Sánchez et al 2017 ; Berridge 2016 ; Boise et al 2013 ).…”

“…In addition to driving behavior, the amount of time participants spent on their computers and which applications they used was collected using WorkTime software (WorkTime, Toronto, ON, Canada) software installed on their computers [35]. Medication taking (a prospective memory task) and adherence were measured using electronic pillboxes (TimerCap, Moorpark, CA, USA); these pillboxes recorded and wirelessly transmitted back to the hub computer information about when and which pillbox doors were opened and/or closed [36]. Social engagement was measured by the amount of time participants spent outside their homes each day, which was monitored from the PIR and contact door sensors.…”
