About this Webinar

Gerontological research is experiencing unprecedented advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). This webinar will open with introductory remarks by Luke Stoeckel, PhD, from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), and then will share a collection of recent findings on AI-driven measurement from the special issue of the Psychological Sciences section of The Journals of Gerontology, Series B edited by guest co-editors, Ganesh M. Babulal, PhD, OTD, Laura Thi Germine, PhD, and Maiya R. Geddes, MD, FRCPC.

Drs. Babulal and Geddes will serve as moderators and introduce each of the featured speakers. The researchers will present their work and will be available for questions. Attendees will learn how digital biomarkers can improve early detection, disease monitoring, and intervention in aging and will gain knowledge of unique opportunities and challenges in this emerging field.  

This special issue and webinar are dedicated to the memory of our esteemed colleague and friend Robert (Bob) Bilder, PhD, who dedicated his career to developing innovative measurement approaches in neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology. His work on the NIA Landscapes of Early Neuropsychological Changes in AD/ADRD initiative helped lay the foundations for this special issue.
