In this paper, we describe a new application for multimedia indexing, using a system that monitors the instrumental activities of daily living to assess the cognitive decline caused by dementia. The system is composed of a wearable camera device designed to capture audio and video data of the instrumental activities of a patient, which is leveraged with multimedia indexing techniques in order to allow medical specialists to analyze several hour long observation shots efficiently.
