Technology for Maintaining Good Mental and Cognitive Health (WP6 TECH-MCH)

Currently, 747,000 Canadians have some type of cognitive impairment, including dementia. This number is expected to double to 1.4 million by 2031. Furthermore, 20% of Canadian seniors are living with a mental illness, anxiety and depression. Pain tends to be under-reported and not treated, resulting in agitation and aggression, while mood disorders often go untreated. Researchers in TECH-MCH are developing software applications for screening and assessment, interventions to enhance mental health and cognitive function, and tools that can automatically detect behaviours that lead to poor cognitive and mental health. TECH-MCH will result in new technologies in an area that has largely been ignored in the technology and aging field.
