Frailty Measurement

  • Claims-based frailty index (PI: Kim): We have developed a claims-based frailty index to estimate frailty from administrative claims data, such as Medicare claims data.  This algorithm is useful for population screening and database research, where a large-scale clinical frailty assessment is not feasible.  Selected ongoing projects include:
    • Crosswalk between the claims-based frailty index and clinical frailty measures
    • Change in the claims-based frailty index and outcomes
       
  • Sensor-based contact-less frailty assessment (co-PI: Kim): This collaborative pilot project with University of Massachusetts (Dr. Paluch) and butlr aims to apply artificial intelligence to identify frailty from wall-mounted heat sensors in the free-living environment.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
