Using Machine Learning to Identify Features from Home Sensors that Predict Care Partner Burden

Home sensors may provide a method to continuously assess daily activities that contribute to the stress level and burden of care partners. Novel ML analysis techniques could help to identify relevant outcome measures from the large amount of data collected by home sensors. Ongoing work is determining the combination of sensors from the technology platform that best predict burden level.

Abstract

Home sensors may provide a method to continuously assess daily activities that contribute to the stress level and burden of care partners. Novel ML analysis techniques could help to identify relevant outcome measures from the large amount of data collected by home sensors. Ongoing work is determining the combination of sensors from the technology platform that best predict burden level.
