As its the first day of #WorldAlzMonth, I thought I'd give a brief overview of work I've done in collaboration with @BAM_Research.
My research focuses on improving how we diagnose and care for people with #dementia.
I use #gait analysis and #wearables to meet these aims (1/n).

My first step was to find out if people with #dementia have unique signatures of #gait impairment (i.e. Unique walking patterns).
My review revealed that gait may be useful to identify dementia but we didn't know enough about gait in dementia subtypes.

With @BAM_Research, I set up the GaitDem study, which examined if #gait would be a useful marker for differential diagnosis of #Alzheimers disease and #Lewy body #dementia.
Using gold standard techniques, we found early evidence that gait may be useful.
