AI-Driven Personalized Prevention and Monitoring System for Dementia and Frailty

healthPilotedTRL 6

Imagine a digital health coach that predicts when an elderly person might start losing their memory or strength before it happens. It uses a mix of wearable sensors, smart home tech, and medical records to create a 'digital twin' of the patient. This allows doctors to give a personalized care plan to keep people independent and healthy for longer.

The business problem

What needed solving

Healthcare providers struggle to predict and prevent dementia and frailty, often reacting only after symptoms appear. This leads to higher care costs and lower quality of life for the elderly.

The solution

What was built

A system for personalized prediction and monitoring using Patient Digital Twins, explainable AI, and integrated health records from sensors and biobanks.

Who can put this to work

Digital Health
SME
Target: Health-tech app developer

If you are a health-tech app developer dealing with low user engagement in elderly care — this project developed behavioral changing applications and serious games that improve mental health and wellbeing.

Medical Devices
mid-size
Target: Wearable sensor manufacturer

If you are a wearable sensor manufacturer dealing with raw data that lacks clinical meaning — this project developed a way to integrate sensor data into Holistic Health Records for personalized prediction of frailty.

Elderly Care Services
enterprise
Target: Private assisted living provider

If you are a private assisted living provider dealing with reactive rather than proactive care — this project developed AI-based medical devices and virtual assistive technologies to monitor progression of age-related disabilities.
