Profile
Dr. Bruce Wallace is Adjunct Research Professor and Contract Instructor (DSP, biomedical) at Carleton University in Computer andSystems Engineering, Affiliated Investigator at Bruyere Research Institute and Executive Director of AGEWELL NIH SAM3. His current research explores sensor and signal processing applications within the assisted living space specifically related to cognitive function measurement and issues related to cognitive and mobility decline. He is focusing on sensor fusion solutions that will allow people to live at home longer and safer with reduced need for caregiver support. Work will include identification of sensor sets required, signal processing algorithms for the sensor data and sensor fusion algorithms to bring the sensor signals together. Outputs

This paper presents results from a 1-year study of 12 patients with moderate dementia in an adult-day program who played a novel whack-a-mole game-based measurement instrument for cognitive behavior and performance. The ongoing measurement of cognition and changes associated with dementia is a challenge for healthcare providers. Measurement methods based on a tablet-based instrument are proposed. Partnership with the adult day program greatly eased recruitment: all but 1 eligible participant joined our study, compared to 1 in 5, or lower, for previous studies with similar populations. There are three unique aspects to the design of our game: first, it has two distinct targets requiring different actions, which increases the cognitive processing for the users; second, each level is systematically more difficult; third, it records and analyzes player performance. The results show that the patients’ game performance improves over the first few weeks; this indicates that they are learning the game and retaining ability gains from week to week, suggesting some procedural learning is still intact. Over the year, 4 participants showed cognitive decline, 4 were stable and 3 improved based on their MMSE score. Two measures are proposed based on level progression within the sessions and mole-hit performance. The level-progression measure identifies declining participants with 1FN and 1FP error. The mole-hit performance measure identifies declining participants with 1FN error. These results demonstrate the potential for the proposed instrument to provide an ongoing measurement as an alternative for the repeated application of the MMSE.5.1 AMBI-MON, 6.2 COG-ASSESS, AWNIH-SAM3 Bruyère Research Institute, Carleton University, AGE-WELL NIH SAM3, Bruyere Research Institute, University of Alberta | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2018-07-01 | | | Monitoring cognitive ability in patients with moderate dementia using a modified “whack-a-mole”Monitoring cognitive ability in patients with moderate dementia using a modified “whack-a-mole”
