Here are the key points from the article summarizing the new grant funding from the Johns Hopkins Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory for Aging Research (JH AITC):
– The JH AITC has awarded over $1 million in grant funding to ten new pilot projects aimed at leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the health and quality of life for older Americans and their caregivers.
– Funding for these projects is provided through the National Institute of Aging.
– Some of the funded projects include identifying regulators and druggable targets for Alzheimer’s disease, creating AI-based digital cognitive assessments for early detection of dementia, translating human movement into biomarkers of aging, and transforming frailty assessment through an AI-driven, home-based approach.
– Other projects focus on music therapy for stroke survivors, developing an assistive robot for aging at home with caregiver guidance, and utilizing head-worn devices to observe movement-based biomarkers of aging.
– Since its launch in 2021, JH AITC has funded over 50 projects in total.
