Project 2: Technology Support for Cognition and Social Engagement for Aging Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Overview
The goal of Project 2 is to develop and evaluate SPARC (Supporting Personal Activities and Reinforcing Cognition), an intelligent adaptive system that provides cognitive support, social support, and engagement with older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Speech data will be collected through the reminiscence feature to study how language production data can be used as an early indicator of cognitive decline.
