Cambridge scientists have developed an AI tool that can predict whether people with early signs of dementia will develop Alzheimer’s disease with 82% accuracy, using cognitive tests and MRI scans. This approach could reduce the need for invasive tests and improve treatment outcomes. Current diagnostic methods may lead to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. The AI model was tested on real-world patient data and validated in memory clinics in the UK and Singapore. The researchers aim to expand the tool to other forms of dementia and different data sources. This could improve early detection and treatment, leading to better patient outcomes.
