Algorithm prediction of cognitive impairment

Assessment of cognitive impairment: the Holy Grail of risk prediction?

Including persistency of impairment in mild cognitive impairment classification enhances prediction of 5-year decline.

Although older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) show elevated rates of conversion to dementia as a group, heterogeneity of outcomes is common at the individual level. Using data from a prospective 5-year longitudinal investigation of cognitive change in healthy older adults (N = 262, aged 64-92 years), this study addressed limitations in contemporary MCI identification procedures whi...

A Prediction Model for Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Random Forests

Dementia is a geriatric disease which has emerged as a serious social and economic problem in an aging society and early diagnosis is very important for it. Especially, early diagnosis and early intervention of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) which is the preliminary stage of dementia can reduce the onset rate of dementia. This study developed MCI prediction model for the Korean elderly in loca...

Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps for Prediction of Knowledge Worker Productivity Based on Real Coded Genetic Algorithm

  Improving knowledge worker productivity has been one of the most important tasks of the century. However, we have few measures or management interventions to make such improvement possible, and it is difficult to identify patterns that should be followed by knowledge workers because systems and processes in an organization are often regarded as a death blow to creativity. In this paper, we se...

Cognitive impairment prediction in the elderly based on vocal biomarkers

Remote, automated cognitive impairment (CI) diagnosis has the potential to facilitate care for the elderly. Speech is easily collected over the phone and already some common cognitive tests are administered remotely, resulting in regular audio data collections. Speech-based CI diagnosis leveraging existing audio is therefore an attractive approach for remote elderly cognitive health monitoring....
