how AI can detect Alzheimers
Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain and gradually leads to memory loss, difficulty in thinking and problem-solving, and changes in behavior and mood. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, and early detection is essential to slow down the progression of the disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease by providing accurate and early detection. In this article, we will explore how AI can detect Alzheimer’s and its potential impact on the field of neurology.
What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain’s ability to function correctly. The disease starts with the formation of plaques and tangles in the brain, which interferes with the communication between neurons, leading to their damage and eventual death. As the disease progresses, the symptoms become more severe, including memory loss, confusion, difficulty in completing familiar tasks, mood swings, and personality changes. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, and treatment mainly focuses on managing symptoms and improving the patient’s quality of life.
