Artificial intelligence-based algorithm for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects a significant proportion of the older population worldwide. It causes irreparable damage to the brain and severely impairs the quality of life in patients. Unfortunately, AD cannot be cured, but early detection can allow medication to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a noninvasive diagnostic technique for brain disorders. It measures minute changes in blood oxygen levels within the brain over time, giving insight into the local activity of neurons.
