Sapienza Researchers Showcase AI Platform for Dementia Risk Assessment

Sapienza Researchers Showcase AI Platform for Dementia Risk Assessment
On 20 March 2026, at Sapienza University of Rome, researchers involved in the eBRAIN-Health project presented the SmartMe&You-TELEMAIA platform for home-based telemonitoring of dementia risk factors during the conference “Sapienza tells PNRR: Universities disclosed”. The services of the SmartMe&You-TELEMAIA platform for home telemonitoring of dementia risk factors were also presented during the conference “Rome Technopole: Where the future takes shape” (11-12 March 2026, Sapienza University of Rome,).

The research activities behind the platform - coordinated by Prof. Claudio Babiloni - were showcased to the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, and to the Sole Administrator of “Resources for Rome,” Paolo Orneli.

The platform provides indices of sedentary behavior, sleep quality, dysfunctions in 24-hour heart rate regulation, and fluctuations in cognitive functions across the week of home telemonitoring in older individuals at risk of, or with, cognitive impairment due to age-related brain diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, etc.).

In that context, we showed how indicators of sedentary lifestyle, poor nighttime sleep quality, dysfunctions in 24-hour heart rate regulation, and fluctuations in cognitive functions over the course of a week of home telemonitoring with smartwatches and serious video games installed on a commercial tablet, used through our data collection and visualization platform, can provide clinical indications on a par with hospital tests in patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease

Data collection is based on a commercial smartwatch and serious games on tablets developed by Prof. Babiloni’s research group, with data analysis performed using artificial intelligence tools. The system supports early detection and continuous monitoring of cognitive decline.
