众所周知，五分之三的痴呆症患者会走失。其后果可能多种多样，包括轻微受伤、高昂的搜救费用。如果24小时内无人找到，则极有可能受伤甚至死亡。本系列四项研究旨在探讨如何应用相关技术来评估和管理社区中患有痴呆症人士的寻路风险。这些研究如下：

Lili Liu is a
professor in the School of Public Health Sciences, and dean of the Faculty of Health at the University of Waterloo. She maintains an externally funded research program that focuses on acceptance and adoption of technologies by older adults, their care partners, and health care professionals.
As an occupational therapist, Liu engages with community organizations, as well as policy and decision makers. Alzheimer Societies, police services, search and rescue, dementia advocacy and caregiver associations, nationally and internationally, are
partners in her research program.
As an AGE-WELL network investigator, Liu’s current research program examines the applications of technologies and other innovations to mitigate risks of going missing among persons living with dementia. Her team focuses on approaches to inform and implement policies that create safe environments where older adults can reside as long as possible.

Technologies for assessment and management of wayfinding risks for persons living with dementia in their communities
Funder: AGE-WELL Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE)
Principal investigator: Lili Liu (University of Waterloo)
Other investigators: Antonio Miguel Cruz (University of Alberta), Alex Ferworn (Ryerson University)
It is commonly known that three out of five people living with dementia will wander. The consequences can vary and include minor injuries, high search and rescue costs. If not found within 24 hours, there is a high chance of injury or death. The purpose of this series of four studies is to examine the application of technologies for assessment and management of wayfinding risks among persons living with dementia in their communities. These studies are as follows:
- To quantify risks associated with vulnerable older adult getting lost due to impaired cognitive health and dementia. (Principal investigator: Lili Liu, University of Waterloo)
- To develop and validate a usability scale for technologies, specifically, locator devices. (Principal investigator: Antonio Miguel Cruz, University of Alberta)
- To create a national guideline and recommendations, on the consistent use of terminologies, and a balanced, ethical approach to collecting data that can inform stakeholders such as resource managers, policy developers, and public funders on evidence-based decisions. (Principal investigator: Lili Liu, University of Waterloo)
- To examine the benefits and challenges associated with the innovative use of drones in search and rescue of persons living with dementia and who get lost in non-urban spaces in the communities. (Principal investigator: Alex Ferworn, Ryerson University)
Impacts are seen through five products:
- A reliable and validated measure that predicts risks of going missing.
- A mobile app that uses the predicted risk levels to recommend a personalized strategy for people with dementia and their care partners to mitigate these risks.
- A brief scale to assess the usability of technologies used to locate a person who is missing.
- A national coordinated strategy for the collection of data on missing older adults to inform programs, product designs, and policies.
- An algorithm-informed search using unmanned aerial systems for finding missing or lost persons living with dementia.
