Project Overview
The objective of this project is to develop and prove the feasibility of home health monitoring and data-driven decision support systems based on various data sources. The outcomes of this work include: 1) a knowledge base of mHealth, machine learning, and artificial intelligence for healthy aging; 2) frailty prediction algorithms based on wearable data; and 3) interRAI Community Health Assessment decision support algorithms.

Ethics application:Tailoring the interRAI suite to identify and meet the needs and preferences of adults with disabilitiesinterRAI Canada and the Ontario Association of Independent Living Service Providers (OAILSP) on behalf of agencies that serve adults with disabilities will work together to improve the collection and use of health information for adults with disabilities.
The objectives of this study are: 1) to develop and test an assessment to be used with the interRAI CHA that includes questions related to the needs of community-dwelling adults with physical disabilities, 2) develop and test a survey about the quality of life of adults living independently in the community, and 3) develop a computer program that will summarize the information from the CHA and provide clients with their assessment results and an easy-to-read care plan.
Participants in this study may benefit from having a health profile created following their CHA assessment and may give care staff a better understanding of the adults who are currently in their care and help them to plan for resources needed for care.

A higher proportion of home care recipients experience nonhip fractures than long-term care residentsThis manuscript describes a population-based study of risk factors that predict one-year incident hip and non-hip fracture for home care recipients in Canada. We linked data from the Resident Assessment Instrument Home Care to fracture data from the Discharge Abstract Database and the National Acute Care Reporting System.
