WSU and Gonzaga Researchers Use Software to Monitor Dementia
A collaboration between Washington State University and Gonzaga University has produced an algorithm that analyzes data from home motion sensors and other devices to assess possible cognitive impairment.
June 03, 2021 • (TNS) Area researchers have collaborated to gain better analysis of data from smart home devices in helping detect cognitive decline. It s part of multiple studies with an overall goal to support senior adults so they can live independently longer.
A Washington State University multidisciplinary team along with Gonzaga University computer science assistant professor Gina Sprint created a new algorithm in 2020 to analyze data from noninvasive technology such as home motion sensors. Their study monitored 14 volunteers doing various everyday tasks at home. Among them, seven members had mild cognitive impairment and in some cases dementia, while the others were heal

The Washington State University College of Nursing is now among the top 20 nursing schools nationally for National Institutes of Health research funding.
The WSU College of Nursing ranked No. 19 among nursing colleges in the United States last year for funding from the NIH, which is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world. The rankings are based on the federal fiscal year, which runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
In fiscal 2019 the WSU College of Nursing ranked 23
rd on that list, and ranked 27
th the year before that.
“This ranking and upward trend represent our college’s commitment to advancing health equity and promoting health,” said Julie Postma, PhD, associate dean for research and associate professor. “For example, our research reflects strength-based and community-centered approaches to improving Native men’s health, preventing suicide, and reducing health risks from wildfire smoke.”
