PROJECT SUMMARY: Overall More than 90% of older Americans would prefer to stay in their homes as long as possible as they age. However, the prevalence of chronic illness including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (ADRD) can make the goal of successful aging at home out of reach without substantial support. At- home health care technologies hold significant promise to provide many needed forms of support, but have not been specifically developed for older adults, AD/ADRD patients, caregivers, and their clinicians. Many existing health monitoring technologies are burdensome to use for older adults, are not sufficiently accurate, have specific algorithmic biases, and lack adequate usability, and the resulting deluge of data often fails to provide information that can usefully inform caregivers and support clinical decisions. Further, many current treatment and intervention regimes are limited in terms of their ability to be remotely delivered, managed and adapted to patient needs and caregiver abilities over time. The Massachusetts AI and Technology Center for Connected Care in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (MAITC) is a multidisciplinary Center spanning five sites – the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brandeis University and Northeastern University – that aims to foster interdisciplinary research on the development, validation and translation of emerging AI- enhanced technologies to enhance connections between older adults, caregivers, and clinicians in order to more effectively support healthy aging as well as the care of patients with AD/ADRD at home. To achieve this objective, MAITC will pursue the five aims. The first is to apply a rigorous process which involves eliciting stakeholder needs to drive the foci of pilot studies and identifying promising technologies suitable for incorporation into pilot research projects. The second is to form and support a multidisciplinary community of engineers, computer scientists, behavioral scientists, medical researchers, nurses and clinicians working to advance the goals of the MAITC. The third is to provide access to state-of-art validation facilities, diverse cohorts across rural and urban areas, and translation and commercialization services to enable rapid, robust and multi-faceted validation and translation of AI-enhanced technologies. The fourth is to administer a pilot project granting process and ensure that the pilot projects are responsive to stakeholder needs, use emerging AI and related technologies that have significant potential to improve interactions between older adults, lay caregivers, and clinicians. The fifth is to provide training to developers, clinicians, and other stakeholders and to disseminate findings to diverse research, development and practice communities to accelerate further development of promising technologies and promote the adoption of validated technologies beyond the MAITC. Through these coordinated efforts, we hope to improve the lives of older adults and their caregivers.

项目概要：总体 超过 90% 的美国老年人希望随着年龄的增长，尽可能长时间地呆在家里。 然而，包括阿尔茨海默病（AD）在内的慢性疾病的流行以及与阿尔茨海默病相关的 如果没有实质性支持，痴呆症（ADRD）可能会使在家成功养老的目标变得遥不可及。 家庭医疗保健技术有望提供许多所需形式的支持，但尚未实现 专为老年人、AD/ADRD 患者、护理人员及其追随者而开发。 健康监测技术对于老年人来说使用起来很麻烦，不够准确， 特定的算法偏差，并且缺乏足够的可用性，由此产生的海量数据往往无法提供 此外，可以为护理人员提供有用的信息并支持临床决策。 干预制度的远程交付、管理和适应能力受到限制 随着时间的推移，患者的需求和护理人员的能力。 马萨诸塞州老龄化和阿尔茨海默病互联护理人工智能和技术中心 (MAITC) 是一个跨学科中心，横跨五个地点 - 马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校、布里格姆分校 和妇女医院、马萨诸塞州总医院、布兰代斯大学和东北大学 – 旨在促进新兴人工智能的开发、验证和转化的跨学科研究 增强技术以增强老年人、护理人员和战士之间的联系，以便 更多地支持有效的健康老龄化以及 AD/ADRD 患者的家庭护理，以实现这一目标。 为了实现这一目标，MAITC 将追求五个目标：第一个目标是采用严格的流程，其中包括引导。 利益相关者需要推动试点研究的重点，并确定适合的有前途的技术 第二是建立和支持一个多学科社区。 工程师、计算机科学家、行为科学家、医学研究人员、护士和从事相关工作的人员 推进 MAITC 的目标第三是提供最先进的多样化验证设施。 覆盖农村和城市地区的群体以及翻译和商业化服务，以实现快速、稳健的 四是对人工智能增强技术进行多方面验证和转化。 项目授予流程并确保试点项目能够满足利益相关者的需求，使用新兴的 人工智能和相关技术在改善老年人之间的互动方面具有巨大潜力 第五是为开发者、新人以及其他利益相关者提供培训。 向不同的研究、开发和实践社区传播研究结果，以进一步加速 开发有前途的技术并促进采用经过验证的技术 MAITC：通过这些协调一致的努力，我们希望改善老年人及其护理人员的生活。
