LET’S GET DIGITAL: DIGITAL BIOMARKERS FOR UNDERSTANDING ADRD - Symposium Session 4375

Sep 29, 2026

Upload by Aldword

Digital biomarkers derived from wearable sensor data are emerging as sensitive predictors of cognitive health. Evidence connects sleep and physical activity with both current cognition and longer-term dementia risk. Remote assessment using digital biomarkers may improve detection and understanding of brain-health changes, but translating multi-dimensional sensor time-series into clinically meaningful metrics remains under-addressed. This symposium quantifies digital measures of physical activity and sleep and examines their links with brain and cognitive health in the ARIC Neurocognitive Study.

FAQs

What are digital biomarkers in this symposium context?

Digital biomarkers refer to measurable indicators derived from wearable sensor data, used to predict and monitor cognitive health and brain-related changes.

Which relationships does the symposium emphasize?

It emphasizes associations between sleep and physical activity with both current cognitive status and longer-term dementia risk, and how these measures relate to brain health.

What study framework will presentations use?

The presentations focus on quantifying physical activity and sleep measures and linking them to brain and cognitive health in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Neurocognitive Study.
