Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is based on the difficulties encountered by people with this disease in performing complex daily activities, i.e. instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs; e.g. preparing a meal, managing finances). The overall objective is to design an early detection test for Alzheimer’s disease by assessing performance in performing activities of daily living using sensors available in a smart home.
