REMOTE TAI CHI FOR KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS: AN EMBEDDED PRAGMATIC TRIAL - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT SYMPTOMATIC OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA) AFFECTS OVER 32.5 MILLION INDIVIDUALS IN THE U.S. AND IS A LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY AND INCREASING MEDICAL COSTS. TOXICITIES ASSOCIATED WITH DRUG THERAPIES FOR KNEE OA PAIN HAVE CAUSED THE NUMBER OF RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS TO DECREASE OVER TIME. THERE IS NOW A CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH KNEE OA, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE COMORBIDITIES THAT COMPLICATE TREATMENT SELECTION ARE HIGHLY PREVALENT IN THIS OLDER ADULT POPULATION. TAI CHI, A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PRACTICE THAT INTEGRATES PHYSICAL, PSYCHOSOCIAL, AND BEHAVIORAL COMPONENTS, HAS EXHIBITED CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN CHRONIC KNEE OA PAIN CONDITIONS. THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RHEUMATOLOGY CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES STRONGLY RECOMMEND TAI CHI AS AN INTERVENTION FOR KNEE OA. RECENT STUDIES CONDUCTED DURING THE PANDEMIC SUGGEST THAT REMOTELY DELIVERED TAI CHI IS A PROMISING AND SCALABLE STRATEGY FOR KNEE OA PAIN. HOWEVER, CRITICAL GAPS REMAIN AS TO THE REAL-WORLD EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOTE TAI CHI FOR KNEE OA AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS MULTIPLE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS. WE PROPOSE AN EMBEDDED, PRAGMATIC, RANDOMIZED TRIAL THAT WILL COMPARE THE EFFECTS OF A 3-MONTH TWICE WEEKLY REMOTELY DELIVERED WEB-BASED TAI CHI INTERVENTION VERSUS ROUTINE CARE ACROSS FOUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS (TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER, BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES HEALTH, AND CLEVELAND CLINIC OHIO AND CLEVELAND CLINIC FLORIDA) IN FOUR GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS (EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, NORTHEAST OHIO, SOUTHERN FLORIDA). WE WILL ENROLL 480 PATIENTS WITH A CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF KNEE OA. PARTICIPANTS WILL BE EVALUATED AT BASELINE AND 3 MONTHS, WITH ADDITIONAL FOLLOW-UP AT 6 AND 12 MONTHS. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF REMOTELY DELIVERED TAI CHI IS FEASIBLE ACROSS FOUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS AND THAT TAI CHI, COMPARED TO ROUTINE CARE, WILL IMPROVE PHYSICAL HEALTH (INCLUDING KNEE-RELATED PAIN AND FUNCTION) AND MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL AS HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION. OUR INNOVATIVE STUDY IS THE FIRST RIGOROUS MULTI-SITE PRAGMATIC TRIAL OF A REMOTE TAI CHI, IN THE MULTIPLE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS UTILIZING WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGY. IT IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CENTERED OUTCOMES OF KNEE OA. THE RESULTS WILL ENABLE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF MIND-BODY APPROACHES FOR KNEE OA ACROSS HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS AND LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR FUTURE TRIALS COMPARING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES.

UNDERSTANDING HOW THESE SYSTEMS CHANGE OVER TIME IS A GRAND CHALLENGE IN BIOLOGY THAT IS MADE URGENT AND POLICY-RELEVANT BY RAPID CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IN THE ARCTIC, WHICH IS WARMING AT LEAST THREE TIMES FASTER THAN THE GLOBAL AVERAGE. ARCTIC ECOSYSTEMS ARE UNIQUELY SUITED TO THEIR EXTREME ENVIRONMENT, AND THEY PROVIDE FOOD AND LIVELIHOODS FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES. IT IS CRITICAL TO KNOW WHETHER SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS CAN EVOLVE TO MATCH THE PACE OF CHANGE, OR WHETHER THEY MIGHT FALL APART OR MUDDLE ALONG IN A REDUCED STATE. EVOME WILL BRING TOGETHER EXPERTS FROM ACROSS BIOLOGICAL DISCIPLINES TO GENERATE NEW INSIGHTS AT EVERY SCALE, FROM GENES TO LANDSCAPES. IT WILL DOCUMENT NATURAL RESPONSES OF MULTIPLE SPECIES IN RIVERS AND STREAMSIDE TUNDRA ENVIRONMENTS AND CONDUCT LARGE-SCALE EXPERIMENTS ON THE FLOW OF ENERGY AND GENES BETWEEN ECOSYSTEMS. EVOME WILL FOSTER A NEW GENERATION OF BIOLOGISTS TRAINED TO THINK AND WORK ACROSS DISCIPLINES, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO INCREASING INCLUSION AND RETENTION OF RESEARCHERS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED BACKGROUNDS, BY A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY AND CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL COURSE, A RESEARCH FUND FOR STUDENTS, AND A FELLOWS PROGRAM. FINALLY, IT WILL BRING JOURNALISTS INTO THE RESEARCH PROCESS TO CREATE?AND HELP RESEARCHERS CREATE?INNOVATIVE MEDIA AND STORIES THROUGH BLOGS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND RADIO STORIES THAT BRING EVOME?S INTEGRATED UNDERSTANDING TO PUBLIC AUDIENCES, INCLUDING RURAL AND ALASKA NATIVE COMMUNITIES. THE EVOME INSTITUTE INTEGRATES ACROSS BIOLOGICAL DISCIPLINES AND SCALES OF ORGANIZATION TO UNDERSTAND HOW ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION MAINTAINS AND SHAPES ECOSYSTEMS LINKED BY THE FLOW OF EVOLVING ORGANISMS AND ENERGY (THE META-ECOSYSTEM) IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. NEW EVIDENCE THAT EVOLUTION CAN OCCUR RAPIDLY NECESSITATES A MAJOR REAPPRAISAL OF THE LONGSTANDING PARADIGM THAT ECOSYSTEM AND META-ECOSYSTEM RESILIENCE CAN BE UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT EVOLUTION. EVOME ADVANCES ECO-EVOLUTIONARY THEORY AND UNDERSTANDING BY INTEGRATING FROM GENES TO META-ECOSYSTEMS TO UNDERSTAND HOW EACH BIOLOGICAL LEVEL INTERACTS WITH THE OTHERS. IN DOING SO, THIS INSTITUTE ADDRESSES FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS IN GENOMICS, MOLECULAR GENETICS, EVOLUTION, PHYSIOLOGY, BEHAVIOR, POPULATION AND COMMUNITY ECOLOGY, AND ECOSYSTEM BIOLOGY IN THE MOST RAPIDLY WARMING PLACE ON EARTH. EVOME WILL EVALUATE THE CURRENT ADAPTIVE CAPACITY OF KEY SPECIES THAT INTEGRATE ARCTIC ECOSYSTEMS ALONG A LATITUDINAL GRADIENT IN NORTHERN ALASKA, INCLUDING LEVERAGING INSIGHTS FROM POPULATIONS LIVING IN HOT SPRINGS IN THE ARCTIC. EVOME WILL CONDUCT METAECOSYSTEM EXPERIMENTS THAT MANIPULATE ENERGY (LITTER AND INSECT MIGRATION INCLUSION/EXCLUSION) AND GENE (TRANSPLANT AND COMMON GARDEN) FLOW IN RIVER/RIPARIAN SYSTEMS. IT WILL COMBINE THIS INFORMATION WITH POWERFUL WHOLE-GENOME ASSESSMENTS AND MODELS TO DISENTANGLE THE PROCESSES THROUGH WHICH FOOD WEB RESPONSES INTERACT WITH EVOLUTION AND ALTER UNDERLYING TRAIT AND ECOSYSTEM RESPONSES. EVOME ALSO WILL DEVELOP NOVEL BIO-MONITORING EQUIPMENT, COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHMS, AND NEW MODELING TECHNIQUES TO DEVELOP FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE FORECASTING TOOLS. IN THESE WAYS, EVOME WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A BROADER, MECHANISTIC, AND PREDICTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE JOINT ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY RESPONSES OF EARTH?S META-ECOSYSTEMS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

BACKGROUND: IN SUPPORT OF NASA'S EARTH SURFACE AND INTERIOR (ESI) FOCUS AREA THE TERRESTRIAL REFERENCE FRAME (TRF) IS THE FOUNDATION FOR VIRTUALLY ALL AIRBORNE SPACE-BASED AND GROUND-BASED EARTH OBSERVATIONS. THIS FRAME IS DEVELOPED BY COMBINING THE OBSERVATIONS FROM SATELLITE LASER RANGING (SLR) VERY LONG BASELINE INTERFEROMETRY (VLBI) THE GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS) AND DOPPLER ORBITOGRAPHY AND RADIOPOSITIONING INTEGRATED BY SATELLITE (DORIS) STATIONS AND IS REALIZED AS AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL TERRESTRIAL REFERENCE FRAME (ITRF). COMBINING THE DIFFERENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELATIVE MEASUREMENT REFERENCE POINTS BETWEEN CO-LOCATED SYSTEMS AND DOING SO IS ESSENTIAL TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE STRENGTHS OF EACH TECHNIQUE. CURRENTLY THE ITRF IS LIMITED IN ACCURACY BY SYSTEMATIC ERRORS IN TYING TOGETHER THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE DIFFERENT GEODETIC TECHNIQUES. SINCE STANDARD GROUND-BASED SURVEYS PROVIDING TIES BETWEEN GEODETIC TECHNIQUES HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT OF THEIR CAPABILITIES A NEW APPROACH IS REQUIRED THAT EXTENDS TECHNIQUE TIES INTO SPACE. MAJOR GOALS: WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A NEW SPACE FLIGHT INSTRUMENT AND VERIFY A MEASUREMENT CONCEPT THAT ENABLES THE DETERMINATION OF SYSTEMATIC ERRORS BETWEEN THE VLBI GNSS AND SLR INDEPENDENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES BY EXTENDING SURVEYING TECHNIQUES OUT TO SPACEFLIGHT ASSETS. THE PROPOSED INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONING AS A GNSS L-TO-X-BAND TRANSPONDER ESTABLISHES FREQUENCY COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN VLBI AND GNSS THEREBY FACILITATING A DIRECT SPACE-BASED GEODETIC TIE BETWEEN THESE TWO RADIO-BASED TECHNIQUES IN POST- PROCESSING. SEPARATE LASER RETRO-REFLECTORS FLOWN CONCURRENTLY WITH GRITSS WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONNECTION TO THE SLR NETWORK. BECAUSE THE MEASUREMENT CONCEPT BY WHICH THE VLBI/GNSS SYSTEMATIC ERRORS WILL BE DETERMINED ONLY REQUIRES ONE VLBI STATION TO OBSERVE THE SPACE VEHICLE THE SPACE VEHICLE MAY BE IN LOW-EARTH ORBIT. THIS IS ADVANTAGEOUS AS IT OPENS UP THE POSSIBILITY OF USING INEXPENSIVE CUBESATS OR OTHER SMALL SATELLITES MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT A COST-EFFECTIVE CONSTELLATION OF SPACECRAFT TO PROVIDE BETTER GLOBAL COVERAGE AND FURTHER IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF THE GEODETIC SITE TIES. SPECIFIC TASKS: 1) DEVELOP MODIFIED VERSION OF AN EXISTING SPACE FLIGHT GNSS RECEIVER TO SUPPORT GNSS RELAYING FUNCTIONALITY PROCURE COMMERCIAL SPACE FLIGHT UHF (LOW DATA RATE) S AND X-BAND (HIGH DATA RATE) DIGITAL DATA TRANSMITTERS. 2) DESIGN AND FABRICATE A FIT-FORM-FUNCTION INSTRUMENT CAPABLE OF BEING IMPLEMENTED WITHIN A CUBESAT/SMALL SATELLITE. 3) BENCH TEST BREADBOARD CONCEPT OF GNSS-TO-VLBI TRANSPONDER WITH GNSS SYNTHETIC SIGNAL GENERATORS AND SPACE VEHICLE GNSS RECEIVERS. 4) BENCH TEST BREADBOARD CONCEPT OF GNSS-TO-VLBI TRANSPONDER WITH GNSS SYNTHETIC SIGNAL GENERATORS AND SPACE VEHICLE GNSS RECEIVERS. 5) ON SIGHT GROUND TEST OF GNSS-TO-VLBI TRANSPONDER AT GODDARD GEOPHYSICAL ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY. 6) AIRBORNE FLIGHT TEST EVALUATION OF GNSS-TO-VLBI TRANSPONDER AT GODDARD GEOPHYSICAL ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY.

MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF COVID-19 BY EXPANDING THE REACH OF PALLIATIVE CARE: PROACTIVE ADVANCE CARE PLANNING WITH VIDEOS FOR THE ELDERLY AND ALL PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA - THE MAJORITY OF PATIENTS AGED 65 OR OVER, AND PATIENTS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRD), HAVE NEVER COMMUNICATED THEIR PREFERENCES TO CLINICIANS OR COMPLETED ADVANCE CARE PLANNING (ACP) DOCUMENTS. PALLIATIVE CARE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE ADRD CARE, IMPROVE PATIENT-CLINICIAN COMMUNICATION AND PATIENT-CENTERED OUTCOMES, WHILE DECREASING UNWANTED BURDENSOME TREATMENTS AND IMPROVING CARE AT THE END OF LIFE. THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) HAS ACUTELY ESCALATED THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATING ACP AND PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES INTO MEDICAL CARE. THE DEFAULT RESPONSE TO CRITICAL ILLNESS FOR PATIENTS WITH ADRD (AND ALL OTHERS) IS INTUBATION, MECHANICAL VENTILATION, AND AGGRESSIVE CARE DESPITE HAVING NO CHANGE IN MORTALITY OUTCOME. ADRD PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS MAY PREFER TO AVOID THESE INTERVENTIONS. TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED A COVID-19 ACP EDUCATOR-LED, VIDEO-ASSISTED PALLIATIVE CARE INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE PATIENT-CLINICIAN COMMUNICATION, INCREASE ACP DOCUMENTATION, AND LEAD TO MORE PATIENT-CENTERED CARE AT THE END OF LIFE. WE WILL IDENTIFY ALL HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS AGED 65 AND OLDER, AND ANY PATIENT WITH ADRD, AND THEN AN ACP EDUCATOR WILL PROACTIVELY PROCEED WITH PRIMARY PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES OF ACP, LEVERAGING CERTIFIED VIDEO DECISION AIDS THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED. THE ACP EDUCATOR TO BE TESTED IN THIS PROPOSAL REPRESENTS A NEW ROLE AND PROACTIVE FUNCTION FOR THE PALLIATIVE CARE TEAM. THE ACP EDUCATOR, WHO WILL BE A PALLIATIVE CARE NURSE, WILL WORK WITH OLDER PATIENTS OR PATIENTS WITH ADRD AND PROXY DECISION-MAKERS TO LEARN ABOUT AND DOCUMENT PATIENTS' WISHES. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE IS TO REDUCE THE BURDEN OF COVID-19 BY EXPANDING THE REACH OF INPATIENT PALLIATIVE CARE, ESPECIALLY FOR PATIENTS WITH ADRD. WE PROPOSE TO CONDUCT A STEPPED WEDGE CLUSTER RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF AN ACP EDUCATOR INTERVENTION AMONG HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS AGED 65 AND OVER, OR ANY PATIENT WITH ADRD AND THEIR PROXY DECISION-MAKERS IN THE WARD AND ICU SETTINGS OF TWO MAJOR HOSPITALS: BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER AND NORTH SHORE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. PATIENT OUTCOMES WILL BE ABSTRACTED FROM ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS WITH NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING. WE WILL EVALUATE INTERVENTION EFFECTIVENESS BY COMPARING THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES AMONG 9,000 HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS: ACP DOCUMENTATION; PREFERENCES FOR RESUSCITATION; PALLIATIVE CARE CONSULTS; AND, HOSPICE USE. WE WILL CHARACTERIZE CAREGIVER-CENTERED OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH ADRD, INCLUDING: (1) KNOWLEDGE, (2) CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE CARE, (3) COMMUNICATION SATISFACTION, AND (4) DECISIONAL CERTAINTY IN 600 CAREGIVERS OF PATIENTS WITH ADRD ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. COVID-19 POSES A UNIQUE DILEMMA FOR OLDER AMERICANS AND PATIENTS WITH ADRD AND THEIR CAREGIVERS, WHO MUST BALANCE THEIR DESIRE TO LIVE AGAINST THE RISK OF A LONELY AND POTENTIALLY TRAUMATIC HOSPITAL DEATH. VIDEO DECISION SUPPORT IS A PRACTICAL, EVIDENCE- BASED, AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ASSIST PATIENTS FACING SUCH CHOICES. IF PROVEN EFFECTIVE, THIS INNOVATIVE CARE MODEL CAN BE IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYED ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.

SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND ALZHEIMER?S DISEASE: COHORT STUDY OF THE US MILITARY VETERAN POPULATION - SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE: COHORT STUDY OF THE US MILITARY VETERAN POPULATION ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (AD) AFFECTS AN ESTIMATED 5.8 MILLION US ADULTS. VETERANS ARE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO AD DUE TO DEMOGRAPHIC, CLINICAL, AND ECONOMIC FACTORS. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE BORN, LIVE, WORK, AND AGE. ADVERSE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDE JOB LOSS AND FINANCIAL AND FOOD INSECURITY. TOGETHER WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACTORS (E.G., SMOKING AND SUBSTANCE USE) AND MENTAL HEALTH, ADVERSE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SBDH) CONTRIBUTE TO ADVERSE HEALTH OUTCOMES. ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN SBDH AND AD HAVE BEEN NOTED, BUT MOST STUDIES USED STRUCTURED ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) OR SURVEY DATA. SBDH ARE NOT ROUTINELY ADDED TO STRUCTURED EHR. NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP) APPROACHES CAN BE DEVELOPED TO AUTOMATICALLY EXTRACT SBDH AND THEIR ATTRIBUTES. THIS APPLICATION RESPONDS TO PAR-22-093 AND NOT-AG-18-047. THE SPECIFIC AIMS ARE: AIM 1: ESTABLISH NLP-ENRICHED CASE DEFINITIONS OF ADVERSE SBDH AND AD-RELATED INFORMATION (E.G., SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF COGNITIVE DECLINE), AND EXAMINE THEIR INCIDENCES BY FIRST CHART-REVIEWING ~10,000 EHR NOTES (E.G., PRIMARY CARE, NEUROLOGY, PSYCHIATRIC, AND SOCIAL WORK NOTES) AND THEN DEVELOPING AND EVALUATING SOPHISTICATED NLP SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURING SBDH AND AD-RELATED INFORMATION. AIM 2: USING NLP ENRICHED SBDH AS INDEPENDENT VARIABLES FROM A NESTED CASE-CONTROL DESIGN, WE WILL ANALYZE THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN ADVERSE SBDH AND INCIDENT AD. WE WILL ALSO EVALUATE HOW THE ASSOCIATIONS VARY BY AGE, SEX, RACE/ETHNICITY. WE WILL COMPARE RESULTS USING NLP-ENRICHED SBDH VS. USING STRUCTURED DATA (ONLY) SBDH. HYPOTHESIS 1: PATIENTS WITH ADVERSE SBDH HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER AD RISK, AFTER ADJUSTING FOR POTENTIAL COVARIABLES (E.G., PATIENT-SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHIC AND CLINICAL FACTORS). HYPOTHESIS 2: THE EFFECTS OF ADVERSE SBDH ON AD RISK VARY BY AGE, SEX AND RACE/ETHNICITY, AFTER ADJUSTING FOR COVARIABLES (E.G., PATIENT- SPECIFIC CLINICAL FACTORS). HYPOTHESIS 3: THE EFFECTS OF ADVERSE SBDH ON INCIDENT AD ARE LIKELY CUMULATIVE AND DURATION-DEPENDENT, WITH MORE AND LONGER ADVERSE SBDH LEADING TO HIGHER AD RISK. AIM 3: EARLY AD DIAGNOSIS MAY PREVENT OR DELAY AD DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INTERVENTION EFFORTS ON SBDH.34 COGNITIVE DECLINE OCCURS 4-8 YEARS PRIOR TO AD DIAGNOSIS.35 WE WILL STUDY WHETHER INCLUSION OF NLP-ENRICHED ADVERSE SBDH AND AD-RELATED INFORMATION HELPS EARLY AD DIAGNOSIS. WE WILL USE THREE TYPES OF PREDICTIVE MODELS: STATISTICAL REGRESSION, TRADITIONAL MACHINE LEARNING, AND INNOVATIVE DEEP LEARNING MODELS.
