How Indian Scientists Are Using AI, ML To Predict Alzheimer's Disease

Noted Indian scientists from the National Brain Research Centre (NBRC), and Neuroimaging and Neurospectroscopy Laboratory (NINS) are using artificial intelligence to develop a smart system to predict Alzheimer's disease early. According to a report in Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Professor Pravat Mandal are working to develop a model to map metabolic patterns in different brain regions in healthy and pathological conditions. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. The greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older. But Alzheimer's is not just a disease of old age.
