Can AI Diagnose Alzheimer’s? Study Shows ChatGPT’s Potential in Early Detection

The study underscores the transformative potential of AI in Alzheimer’s diagnostics. ChatGPT’s ability to analyze EHRs, MRI scans, and cognitive assessments could aid early detection, allowing for timely interventions that improve patients' quality of life. The study examines ChatGPT’s ability to analyze 9,300 EHRs, integrating MRI-based neuroimaging with cognitive assessment data. Researchers employed both zero-shot and multi-shot learning approaches to determine how well ChatGPT could classify patients into three categories: Normal Control (NC), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), or Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).
