New modes of technology are offering unprecedented opportunities to unobtrusively collect data about people's behavior. While there are many use cases for such information, we explore its utility for predicting multiple clinical assessment scores. Because clinical assessments are typically used as screening tools for impairment and disease, such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), automatically mapping behavioral data to assessment scores can help detect changes in health and behavior across time. In this paper, we aim to extract behavior markers from two modalities, a smart home environment and a custom digital memory notebook app, for mapping to ten clinical assessments that are relevant for monitoring MCI onset and changes in cognitive health. Smart home-based behavior markers reflect hourly, daily, and weekly activity patterns, while app-based behavior markers reflect app usage and writing content/style derived from free-form journal entries. We describe machine learning techniques for fusing these multimodal behavior markers and utilizing joint prediction. We evaluate our approach using three regression algorithms and data from 14 participants with MCI living in a smart home environment. We observed moderate to large correlations between predicted and ground-truth assessment scores, ranging from r = 0.601 to r = 0.871 for each clinical assessment.
