Project reports
Project 1: Digital Cognitive Assessment
• 1 Psychology student, 2 CS students
• Past and Current studies
Healthy, MCI, Dementia
• Parkinson’s
• Horizon House
•
• Assessment
***Laboratory tests***
• Self report
• Informed report
• Smart home
•
Laboratory tests
• Stroop test
• Inhibit overlearned response in favor of
novel response
Laboratory tests
• Trail making test
Speed of attention
• Sequencing
• Search and motor functions
•
• One we currently use
Not using licensed version
• Can we make this digital?
• Grab extra features
•
Laboratory tests
• Clock drawing test
Temporo-spatial orientation
• Attention
•
• GT working on digital version, not validated
Laboratory tests

Experiment Design
• Part One
Recruit older adults
• Perform traditional version of existing test
• Perform digital version (counterbalance order)
• Compare performance
•
• Part Two
Perform traditional cognitive assessment
• Gather performance scores from digital version
• Use ML / correlation analysis to see if assessment
can be derived from digital scores
•
Experiment Design
• And beyond
•
Recruit students from Psychology Subject Pool
• Perform randomized versions of game every day for
14 days
• Look for learning effects
•
Recruit participants from Horizon House
• Perform randomized versions of game each month
• Compare with self report and cognitive assessment
Project 2: Personalized Interventions
• 1 Psychology student, 1 CS student
• Mentoring help from Dr. Taylor
Interventions
• Memory notebook
•
GT project
• How encourage individuals to respond to
intervention?
• Adaptive interface
• Adaptive rewards
Interface
• Different look and feel, layout
• Alternative prompting types
•
Audio, text, tone, vibrate, pictures
• Alternative prompt timings
Rewards
• Earn points
• Complete picture
• Download coupons, ring tones
Personalization
• Use Machine Learning to adapt interface and
rewards to user
Experiment Design
• Round 1
Recruit participants from Psychology subject
pool
• Perform short tasks with varying interface
and/or reward
• Compared learned approach to random
•
Experiment Design
• Round 2
Clinical evaluation with older adults
• Using in Horizon House apartments
•
Project 3: Rehabilitation Monitoring
• 1 BE student, 1 CS student, Dr. Meeks
St. Luke’s Community
• Therapy at St.
Luke’s
Rehabilitation
Hospital in
Spokane
Monitor Therapy
• Motion sensors
• Smart phone sensors
• Round 1
•
Generate task performance measures
• Round 2
•
Correlate performance with
• Patient status
• Total time in therapy
• Time spent on current task
Other Project Ideas
• Analyze Parkinson’s data
TUG
• Voice
• ADLs
•
• Integrate physiological and behavior data
into EHR, PHR
