Dr. Eleni Stroulia is a Professor in the Department of Computing Science, at the University of Alberta. From 2011-2016, she held the NSERC/AITF Industrial Research Chair on Service Systems Management, with IBM. Her research focuses on addressing industry-driven problems and interdisciplinary challenges, using AI and machine-learning methods. She has played leadership roles in the GRAND and AGE-WELL Networks of Centres of Excellence. In 2018 she received a McCalla professorship, and in 2019 she was recognized with a Killam Award for Excellence in Mentoring. She has supervised more than 60 graduate students and PDFs, who have gone forward to stellar academic and industrial careers. From 2020 to 2023, she was the Director of the University of Alberta's AI4Society Signature Area, and since 2021 she is serving as the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Science. She is currently leading a CFI-funded project that will transform the UCommons building into a smart living lab .

Stroulia, E. Detecting Cognitive Ability Changes in Patients with Moderate Dementia Using a Modified "Whack-a-Mole B. Wallace, F. Knoefel, R. Goubran, P. Masson, A. Baker, V. Guana, E. Stroulia, “Detecting Cognitive Ability Changes in Patients With Moderate Dementia Using a Modified 'Whack-a-Mole' Game”, IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, vol. 67, no. 7, pp. 1521-1534, Jul. 2018 This paper presents results from a 1-year study of 12 patients with moderate dementia in an adult-day program who played a novel whack-a-mole game-based measurement instrument for cognitive behavior and performance. The ongoing measurement of cognition and changes associated with dementia is a challenge for healthcare providers. Measurement methods based on a tablet-based instrument are proposed. Partnership with the adult day program greatly eased recruitment: all but 1 eligible participant joined our study, compared to 1 in 5, or lower, for previous studies with similar populations. There are three unique aspects to the design of our game: first, it has two distinct targets requiring different actions, which increases the cognitive processing for the users; second, each level is systematically more difficult; third, it records and analyzes player performance. The results show that the patients’ game performance improves over the first few weeks; this indicates that they are learning the game and retaining ability gains from week to week, suggesting some procedural learning is still intact. Over the year, 4 participants showed cognitive decline, 4 were stable and 3 improved based on their MMSE score. Two measures are proposed based on level progression within the sessions and mole-hit performance. The level-progression measure identifies declining participants with 1FN and 1FP error. The mole-hit performance measure identifies declining participants with 1FN error. These results demonstrate the potential for the proposed instrument to provide an ongoing measurement as an alternative for the repeated application of the MMSE.
