Tanvi Banerjee\, Advisor\, Amit Sheth\, Willia m Romine\, and Jennifer HughesABSTRACT:Dementia caregiver burnout is detri mental to both the familial caregiver and their loved ones with dementia. As the population of older adults increases\, both the number of individua ls with dementia and their corresponding caregivers increase as well. Thus \, we are interested in developing a potential tool to non-invasively dete ct signs of caregiver burnout using a mobile application combined with mac hine learning. Hence\, the mobile application 'Caregiver Assessment using Smart Technology' (CAST) was developed which personalizes a word scramble game. The CAST application utilizes a heuristically constructed Fuzzy Infe rence System (FIS) optimized via a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to provide an in dividualized performance measure for each user of CAST. That is\, we attem pt to adjust the difficulty of the game using an individual user’s ability to solve the word scramble tasks. With a cohort of 48 non-caregiver parti cipants and 2 dementia caregiver participants\, we report on the construct ion of the FIS\, the optimization of the FIS using the GA\, and analysis o f the preliminary results of deciding difficulties of words using standard performance metrics precision\, recall\, and F1 score.
