IRRESPECTIVE Project aims at developing a multi-modal, multi-episode and multi-tasks approach for dementia’s automatic, personalized detection and assistance, by exploiting data (video-recordings of targeted tasks), which describe the ability of individuals to exhibit and process the above-listed social signals.

Automatic supervised/unsupervised artificial intelligent methods will be developed to detect such features from naturalistic data and devise early risk prediction, prevention and intervention protocols helping human experts to detect and discriminate the prodromes of these neurodegenerative diseases suggesting personalized care, thus resulting in better-quality individual healthcare services and healthcare outcomes.
