The project aims to explore novel digital devices to monitor cognitive function as part of e-Cognitive Health Initiative (e-CHI), which is built around the lessons learned from the Framingham Cognitive Aging program, the most comprehensive cognitive aging database in the world. The goal is to create a strategic plan for building the infrastructure to collect, store and analyze novel health measures linked to cognition from various digital devices. The collected “big data” matrices will enable the team to design a novel analysis platform to discover important features contributing to brain health, generally and Alzheimer’s disease specifically, and potentially lead to new strategies for disease risk stratification.
