AI Predicts Alzheimer’s Years in Advance

Cambridge researchers have developed an AI tool that can predict if and how quickly someone with early signs of Alzheimer’s will develop the disease. The breakthrough could give individuals and families crucial time to plan, review Wills, set up Lasting Powers of Attorney, and record care wishes while capacity and clarity remain intact. The Cambridge team’s machine learning model analyses routinely collected, non-invasive data – such as MRI brain scans and results from standard memory and thinking tests – from patients in the UK, US, and Singapore.
