Seniors face a number of health-related challenges, including declines in mobility and increased fall risks. Several events can influence how an individual can cope with these challenges. For example, a sudden illness or a poor night sleep can negatively affect mobility. In particular, sleep can become less regular as one ages, and this can lead to mobility that is more difficult periodically. Various sensors have been developed in recent years that allow the monitoring of mobility and sleep patterns in the home setting. At the present time, these sensors can provide targeted health information, but mostly on an individual basis. What is needed to allow an impact at a systems level, where clinically relevant health data can be generated for thousands of Canadian seniors and accessed by healthcare professionals, is a commercial solution that will establish a platform with valid, useful and timely health information.****The partnering organization, IBM, is interested in developing a solution for the monitoring of health-related features of seniors, expanding on their data analytic tools and platforms. Such an application would be of great benefit for Canada's health care system.****The researcher, through a recently completed demonstration project, compiled a database of longitudinal pressure-sensitive mat data from 20 seniors with changing mobility status for approximately 1 year each, in addition to targeted information related to their health. This vast amount of data (big data) represents a unique opportunity to extract health features, particularly mobility- and sleep-related, that would be important and useful for clinicians. The project will look at challenges to create data analytics and classification algorithms that can produce clinically relevant results for clinicians. This would allow optimal review and actions by healthcare professionals without becoming a burden.****We hope that this collaboration will lead to the development of a solution to generate relevant clinical information for seniors and their healthcare team, which would allow IBM to potentially bring such novel solution to market.******

老年人面临许多与健康相关的挑战，包括行动能力下降和跌倒风险增加。有几个事件会影响个人应对这些挑战的方式。例如，突发疾病或夜间睡眠不佳可能会对行动能力产生负面影响。特别是，随着年龄的增长，睡眠会变得不那么规律，这可能会导致周期性地活动变得更加困难。近年来已经开发出各种传感器，可以监测家庭环境中的活动和睡眠模式。目前，这些传感器可以提供有针对性的健康信息，但主要是针对个人的。为了在系统层面产生影响，可以为数千名加拿大老年人生成临床相关的健康数据并供医疗保健专业人员访问，需要的是一种商业解决方案，该解决方案将建立一个包含有效、有用和及时的健康信息的平台。* ***合作组织 IBM 有兴趣开发一种解决方案来监控老年人的健康相关特征，并扩展其数据分析工具和平台。这样的应用将对加拿大的医疗保健系统大有裨益。****研究人员通过最近完成的一个示范项目，编制了一个数据库，其中包含 20 名行动状态不断变化的老年人的纵向压力敏感垫数据，每人大约 1 年时间，除了与他们的健康相关的有针对性的信息。如此大量的数据（大数据）代表了提取健康特征的独特机会，特别是与活动性和睡眠相关的特征，这对临床医生来说非常重要且有用。该项目将着眼于创建数据分析和分类算法的挑战，为临床医生提供临床相关的结果。这将使医疗保健专业人员能够进行最佳审查和采取行动，而不会成为负担。****我们希望此次合作能够开发出一种解决方案，为老年人及其医疗团队生成相关的临床信息，这将使 IBM 能够将这种新颖的解决方案推向市场。*****
