Motor-cognitive function assessment for healthy aging using a portable measurement platform

Speaker: Trent Guess

Abstract: Motor-cognitive function is a key indicator of healthy aging including fall risk and early detection of cognitive decline.
Dr. Guess will present results from an a2 Collective pilot study that successfully distinguished older adults with mild cognitive impairment, frailty, and fall risk using machine learning and dual-task assessment. He will also present recent work to commercialize this technology.
