TIHM: An open dataset for remote healthcare monitoring in dementia

A secure digital platform was developed to integrate in-home IoT and remote monitoring technologies to collect routine physiological, sleep, movement, and ambient data11.

Digital markers

Digital markers are measurable physiological and in-home movement data gathered and assessed by digital devices, including portable and passive monitoring sensors. Digital markers can deliver novel and useful insights into an individual’s activity patterns and physiological health, allowing for continuous and non-invasive healthcare monitoring. Remote monitoring technologies also provide a novel approach to monitoring the effect of new interventions in clinical trials and observational and interventional studies12.

In TIHM, sensory devices were installed in participants’ homes, and activity data was continuously recorded via passive infrared (PIR) sensors (installed in the hallway and living room),…
