劉莉莉教授是滑鐵盧大學公共衛生科學學院的教授，同時也是該校健康學院的院長。她主持一項外部資助的研究項目，該項目專注於老年人、他們的照護夥伴以及醫療保健專業人員對技術的接受度和采用情況。
作為一名職業治療師，劉莉莉教授積極參與社區組織以及政策製定者和決策者的工作。國內外的阿爾茨海默病協會、警察部門、搜救隊、癡呆症倡導組織和照護者協會都是她研究項目的合作夥伴。
作為AGE-WELL網絡的研究員，劉莉莉目前的研究項目旨在探索如何利用技術和其他創新手段來降低癡呆症患者走失的風險。她的團隊致力於研究如何為相關政策的製定和實施提供信息，從而創造安全的居住環境，讓老年人能夠盡可能長久地安享晚年。

眾所周知，五分之三的癡呆症患者會走失。其後果可能多種多樣，包括輕微受傷、高昂的搜救費用。如果24小時內無人找到，則極有可能受傷甚至死亡。本係列四項研究旨在探討如何應用相關技術來評估和管理社區中患有癡呆症人士的尋路風險。這些研究如下：

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.
