This study is looking at how well sensing technologies, like smartwatches, computer vision, and eye tracking, can recognize and score daily activities (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living or IADLs) in older women. IADLs are complex tasks like cooking or cleaning that are important for living independently. Researchers want to see if these technologies can accurately measure how efficiently you perform these tasks, compared to ratings from occupational therapists. This could help doctors detect early changes in daily activity that might signal a need for more support. The study is recruiting 20 women, aged 75 and older, who live in the community and can perform cooking and light cleaning tasks independently. You would also need to be part of the University of Pittsburgh Pepper Center research registry and have normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment.

Study design

This is an observational study with 20 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would have a 15-minute telephone screening and a 90-minute in-person assessment. During the in-person assessment, you would perform structured cooking and cleaning tasks in a standardized kitchen while being monitored by sensing technologies.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your efficiency of IADL performance will be measured at the 15-minute telephone screening and the 90-minute in-person assessment.
