Objectives: While basic activities of daily living hierarchically decline in dementia, little is known about the decline of individual instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The objective of this study was to assess initiative and performance deficits in IADLs in dementia. Methods: A total of 581 carers completed the revised Interview for Deterioration in Daily Living Activities in Dementia 2 to rate their relative’s everyday functioning. Results: Initiating and performing IADLs deteriorated hierarchically, while people with dementia were consistently most impaired in initiating using the computer and managing finances. Initiating preparing a cold or hot meal and managing finances were more impaired than their performance, whereas performing maintaining an active social life for example were more impaired than their initiative. Conclusion: Findings can help identify the severity of dementia by understanding deficits in initiative and performance. This study has implications for the development of targeted interventions depending on the stage of dementia.

This paper proposes a data-driven knowledge-based system with which aged people can measure the degree of activities of daily living (ADL) by themselves. The proposed system, called E-coach for ADL Test (EAT), provides participants with self-measurement procedures, using e-coaching, which is a guidance mechanism to lead the participants from an initial stage to a target goal. The EAT traces the behavior of the participants to gather ADL data that tell how well they perform the given e-coaching. Driven by the Internet of Things data, the knowledge-based inference of the EAT carries out the e-coaching mechanism that figures out what state the self-measurement procedures stay on and what guidance is necessary for the next state. The EAT ensures that all the procedures for ADL measurement are executed automatically without any help from medical professionals. The experiment described in this paper demonstrates that the EAT distinguishes between dementia patients and normal people. The measurement report assists medical doctors in the diagnosis of certain medical conditions that these people may have.

In this paper, we focus on data-driven approaches to human activity recognition (HAR). Data-driven approaches rely on good quality data during training, however, a shortage of high quality, large-scale, and accurately annotated HAR datasets exists for recognizing activities of daily living (ADLs) within smart environments. The contributions of this paper involve improving the quality of an openly available HAR dataset for the purpose of data-driven HAR and proposing a new ensemble of neural networks as a data-driven HAR classifier. Specifically, we propose a homogeneous ensemble neural network approach for the purpose of recognizing activities of daily living within a smart home setting. Four base models were generated and integrated using a support function fusion method which involved computing an output decision score for each base classifier. The contribution of this work also involved exploring several approaches to resolving conflicts between the base models. Experimental results demonstrated that distributing data at a class level greatly reduces the number of conflicts that occur between the base models, leading to an increased performance prior to the application of conflict resolution techniques. Overall, the best HAR performance of 80.39% was achieved through distributing data at a class level in conjunction with a conflict resolution approach, which involved calculating the difference between the highest and second highest predictions per conflicting model and awarding the final decision to the model with the highest differential value.
