Project Title: Artificial Intelligence for the detection of anomalous events in long term care

This project will use artificial intelligence to identify events that are “out of the ordinary” such as falls or episodes of agitation recorded in surveillance videos recorded in shared living spaces. Using anomaly detection algorithms, the computer will learn to “watch” the video and alert staff to respond quickly to support the care of older adults with dementia and cognitive impairment.
