Outline of Research at the Start

We will co-design an integrated wearable technology (for example physiological sensing and embedded machine learning) with older adults that can assess parts of the FINGERS We will pursue a multi-dimensional intervention strategy for individuals. In workshops and experimental setups we will determine what the best systems are to target the most significant precursors to dementia (for example change in facial expressions and eye movements).
