AI helps physicians accurately diagnose dementia type, even when limited information is available
Boston University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool designed to assist physicians in diagnosing the specific causes of cognitive decline. The findings were reported in Nature Medicine. While Alzheimer’s disease is the most recognized cause of dementia, it’s not the only one. The diagnostic challenge is compounded by the fact that multiple causes of dementia can occur simultaneously, making it difficult for physicians to arrive at a definitive diagnosis quickly. This delay often hampers timely intervention.
The researchers, led by Vijaya B. Kolachalama, PhD, an expert in using computational tools to aid in medical diagnoses, created an AI-driven platform capable of identifying up to 10 types...
