  1. Locomotor Variability in ALF Residents with A/D MCI PI: William D. Kearns Co-investigator: James L. Fozard Funding Agency: Johnnie B. Byrd, Sr. Alzheimer’s Center & Research Institute Award Nr. ARG-2007-34

  2. Objectives • Measure variability in daily locomotor patterns to detect wandering • Detect early behavioral biomarkers of later wandering • Create a human analog to “activity grid” measurement systems successful with lesser species

  3. UWB’s Potential • As an anti elopement measure • As a health monitoring tool • As a prediction device (AI) • For inventory control
