This AI task-based app hopes to improve dementia care

Mindset takes people through three "fun" cognitive tasks with the aim of creating a significant dementia database and one day screen for the syndrome. A group of UK medical students have released medical app Mindset which hopes to become the "world's largest dementia AI initiative". The brain syndrome – which can cause memory loss and changes in behaviour – is a significant and growing problem, particularly for people over the age of 65. It is thought that around 62% of individuals suffering from dementia are undiagnosed. By 2050, the number of people who suffer from the condition is expected to triple, mostly because of an aging population.
