Cover Story: Cognitive decline poses a public health challenge; thus, early detection is crucial to initiate timely interventions and improve patient outcomes. However, conventional diagnosis methods often rely on personal interpretations or biases, may not detect the early stages of cognitive decline, or involve invasive procedures. Our paper addresses this gap by presenting a non-invasive solution using deep neural networks to detect the higher fragmentation of daily life activity from wearable and IoT devices data and graph learning to analyze the structural well-being information of assessment questionnaires. The evaluation, conducted in a simulated environment with a large synthetic dataset, demonstrates the potential of our approach as a supportive tool for early cognitive decline detection in patient assessments.
