Summary

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) refer to a range of mental and emotional issues that can be observed through how patients move, perform daily tasks, and express feelings on their faces. In this study, the investigators want to find ways to accurately and unobtrusively track these symptoms in people's homes over time. Our goals are to note when these symptoms happen, predict potential problems, and gather clear data to help doctors make accurate diagnoses. To do this, the investigators will first collect information from participants who have in-home sensors. the investigators will then use special computer programs that can recognize everyday activities and identify features that connect to scores from the Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C). These scores will be compared to a questionnaire (NPIQ) filled out by caregivers or family members, along with any relevant information from doctors about the patients' symptoms. The investigators aim to see how these features can help differentiate between types of NPS, such as mood changes and agitation. Finally, the investigators will create a dashboard for doctors that summarizes the patterns of these symptoms in patients, making it easier to monitor and manage their mental health.


Eligibility

Min Age: 65 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing new tools to track thinking and memory changes at home, so that early signs of cognitive decline or dementia can be detected without frequent clinic visits. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 65 years of age or older - You have mild to moderate dementia, are at risk for it, or are a healthy person serving as a comparison - You have a friend or family member who can check in with you at least once a week and participate as a study partner - You live at home (not in a care facility) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have severe mobility problems that would prevent participation - You live in a nursing home, skilled nursing facility, or other non-home care setting Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
