Using AI To Quickly Diagnose Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia From Voice Recordings

A new AI program can accurately and efficiently detect cognitive impairment from voice recordings. Scientists develop an artificial intelligence program that detects cognitive impairment accurately and efficiently from voice recordings. A lot of time--and money--is required to diagnose Alzheimer's disease. After running lengthy in-person neuropsychological exams, clinicians have to transcribe, review, and analyze every response in detail. However, researchers at Boston University (BU) have developed a new tool that could automate the process and eventually allow it to move online.
