Artificial intelligence accurately predicts who will develop dementia in two years

Professor David Llewellyn, an Alan Turing Fellow based at the University of Exeter, who oversaw the study, said: "We're now able to teach computers to accurately predict who will go on to develop dementia within two years. We're also excited to learn that our machine learning approach was able to identify patients who may have been misdiagnosed. This has the potential to reduce the guesswork in clinical practice and significantly improve the diagnostic pathway, helping families access the support they need as swiftly and as accurately as possible."
