Automated IADL Sensing to Refine Measurement of Older Adult Daily Activity

Sex: Female

Ages: 75 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Enrollment: 20

Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh

Summary

The instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) refer to complex daily activities required for adult independence, such as preparing a meal or taking medications. This study will assess the efficacy of sensing technologies (smartwatch, computer vision, eye tracking) for recognizing IADL activities in naturalistic settings and score performance relative to ratings from occupational therapists. If successful in assessing the efficiency of IADL, the sensing technologies will be a valuable addition to geriatric assessment.
