Falls Risk in Older Adults with Dementia Living in Long-Term Care
Falls Risk in Older Adults with Dementia Living in Long-Term Care
1 hour
Overview
Many factors contribute to falls risk in older adults with dementia living in long-term care.
In this presentation, Dr. Iaboni will discuss these risk factors and present a new assessment developed to help facilitate a person-centred approach to managing falls risk.
She will also speak about opportunities to use technology for monitoring activity and falls risk in people with dementia living in long-term care, including the use of location tracking systems and computer vision.
She will show results from the AMBIENT study which used video surveillance footage to track changes in gait over time and the use of artificial intelligence to identify critical changes in gait associated with a high likelihood of a fall in the next month.
