Boston University researchers have developed AI tools that can diagnose various types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, using routine clinical data with high accuracy, addressing challenges in diagnosis and treatment. The AI models enable early prediction of Alzheimer's disease development based on speech patterns, potentially automating cognitive impairment screening and reducing the need for costly tests. The use of AI in healthcare, such as the Foresight tool, shows promise in predicting future health conditions and aiding clinicians in real-time risk prediction. These advancements highlight the importance of scalable and accurate diagnostic tools in addressing the global shortage of specialists and improving healthcare outcomes for dementia patients.
