Detecting changes in Rollup Summary field for delta pull via API

We have an datastore that pulls delta changes from Salesforce tables throughout the day.  I need some guidance on how best to pull values from rollup summary fields - the pull looks to LastModifiedDate to get any changes to fields in an object, but since the rollup summary fields are calculated, they aren't tripping LastModifiedDate.  Any suggestions for how best to include these values in a delta pull?
Thanks.

Create a Trigger and update some dummy field on the Rollup Summary  field . 
You can pull the data if even the new dummy field is changes . 

The Document mentions that the Parent record record goes through save procedure meaning the trigger will fire on parent record if there is a modification on the field of child record that feeds to the parent as roll up.
