Computational Tools and Techniques for Early Diagnosis and Screening of Geriatric Diseases

Geriatric syndrome is defined as a set of multifactorial conditions associated with deficits in clinical, psychosocial, and environmental domains. Future care of the elderly should be based on the ability to recognize and quantitatively assess early predictors of geriatric syndrome at the primary healthcare level in order to prevent, or limit, the later development of geriatric syndrome. In cases where geriatric syndrome is established, quantitative techniques for monitoring the effectiveness of care and treatment of the disease are also necessary.
