Early Dementia Detection Among Older Adults by Artificial Intelligence Algorithms: Role and Application of AI in Dementia Diagnosis
$ 42.5
Description
Dementia disorders among old people represent a challenge for modern medicine. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) represents the most diffused form of adult-onset dementia. For half a century, the diagnosis of AD was based on clinical and exclusion criteria, with an accuracy of 85%, which did not allow for a definitive diagnosis, which could only be confirmed by post-mortem evaluation. Artificial intelligence models such as Machine learning and Deep learning research applied to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques can contribute to a faster diagnosis of AD and may contribute to predicting the evolution of the disease. It was also possible to predict individual dementia of older adults with AD screening data and machine learning classifiers. To predict the AD subject status, the MRI demographic information and pre-existing conditions of the patient can help to enhance the classifier performance.
