About the lecture
The field of rehabilitation sciences has greatly benefitted by the emergence of recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Modern day AI algorithms can process large amounts of multimodal sensor and patients’ data to improve clinical assessments and care. In this talk I'll talk about two studies, where multimodal sensors were deployed in different settings - (i) Dementia Care - to detect agitation in people with dementia in a long-term care / nursing home, and (ii) Patient Care - to assess social isolation in older adults with hip surgery living in the community. I'll talk about the methodologies, challenges and best practices adopted to execute these studies successfully. I will also discuss our results on predictive modelling and data analysis. Towards the end, I'll also discuss another ongoing study on providing virtual rehabilitation in cardiac and stroke rehabilitation patients.
