Project Title: Video-based gait assessment to monitor changes in health status and reduce hospital visits in older adults with dementia

This project aims to use information about individuals’ walking to predict medical events and unplanned hospital visits in older adults with dementia living in a long-term care home. Artificial intelligence methods will be used to identify subtle changes in gait that are early markers of change in health status that precede an unplanned hospital visit.
