Abstract
The aging of the world population is accompanied by a substantial increase in neurodegenerative disorders, such as dementia. Early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a clinical diagnostic that comes with an increased chance to develop dementias, could be an essential condition for promoting quality of life and independent living, as it would provide a critical window for the implementation of early pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. This systematic review aims to investigate the current state of knowledge on the effectiveness of smart home sensors technologies for the early detection of MCI through the monitoring of everyday life activities. This approach offers many advantages, including the continuous measurement of functional abilities in ecological environments. A systematic search of publications in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL, before November 2017, was conducted. Seventeen studies were included in this review. Thirteen studies were based on real-life monitoring, with several sensors installed in participants' actual homes, and four studies included scenario-based assessments, in which participants had to complete various tasks in a research lab apartment. In real-life monitoring, the most used indicators of MCI were walking speed and activity/motion in the house. In scenario-based assessment, time of completion, quality of activity completion, number of errors, amount of assistance needed, and task-irrelevant behaviors during the performance of everyday activities predicted MCI in participants. Despite technological limitations and the novelty of the field, smart home technologies represent a promising potential for the early screening of MCI and could support clinicians in geriatric care.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
