AI Developed by Boston University Predicts Alzheimer’s Risk with 80% Accuracy Using Speech Patterns

Jul 15, 2024, 12:03 PM

Boston University researchers have developed an AI system that can predict the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease with 80% accuracy by analyzing subtle changes in speech patterns. This method is significantly less invasive compared to traditional diagnostic techniques, which typically involve brain imaging and blood or spinal fluid tests. The AI technology can forecast an Alzheimer's diagnosis up to six years in advance, providing a potentially valuable tool for early intervention in healthcare. #Healthcare #AI
