Unobtrusive Sensors for the Assessment of Older Adult’s Frailty: A Scoping Review

摘要: Ubiquity (devices becoming part of the context) and transparency not interfering with daily activities) are very significant in healthcare monitoring applications for elders. The present study undertakes a scoping review to map literature on sensor-based unobtrusive older adults' frailty. We aim determine what types devices comply unobtrusiveness requirements, which frailty markers have been unobtrusively assessed, unsupervised tested, relationships between sensor outcomes markers, can assess multiple markers. SCOPUS, PUBMED, Web Science were used identify papers published 2010-2020. selected 67 documents involving non-hospitalized adults (65+ y.o.) assessing level or some specific frailty-marker sensor. Among nine body worn sensors, only inertial measurement units (IMUs) waist wrist-worn sensors ubiquity. former transparently all variables but weight loss. Wrist-worn tested conditions. Unsupervised presence detectors predict frailty, slowness, performance, physical activity. Waist IMUs most promising candidates Further research is necessary give predictions IMUs.
