Abstract
Research Title: The Effect of Wearable Sensors and Artificial Intelligence Processing on the
Quality of the Care For Dementia Patients: The Future of Geriatrics
Purpose: To analyze several types of wearable sensors used to improve the lives of Dementia
patients and their caretakers, in order to increase the effectiveness and quality of care that the
patients receive.
Audience: The intended audience of the product is primarily elderly caretakers and geriatrics
who tend to the needs of dementia patients, ensuring that they are living a stable, safe, and
secure lifestyle,
Process:
1. Intensively gathered information on types of dementia, the purpose of artificial intelligence,
dementia interventions/ cures, and several wearable smart sensors from multiple scientific
journals.
2. Secured advisor, Dr. Andrew Gearhart, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory.
3. Visited UMBC library and Lighthouse Senior Living to read and gather information/first-hand
experience of the lives of dementia patients and their caretakers.
4. Conducted interviews with geriatric professionals: Dr. Barbara Resnick and Dr. Sadia Baqai.
An interview was also done with Dr. Sezin Palmer, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University Applied
Physics Laboratory. Sent business letters requesting information and resources from
organizations related to the areas of research.
5. Produced an intensive research paper using past research, interviews, and experiences.
6. Conducted a meta-cognitive data collection on five different research papers entailing GPS
tracking devices used for Dementia and elderly patients.
7. Constructed a website, holding all information and important documents from the year’s
research.
