The Machine-IBM and Pfizer claim AI can predict Alzheimer’s onset with 71% accuracy
GTX found this article on early prediction of Alzheimer’s very interesting and promising. The sooner we can predict early onset, the more options families will have. We appreciate the collaboration between technology and medicine that IBM and Pfizer are doing in the field of Alzheimer’s research. Kyle Wiggers@Kyle_L_WiggersOctober 22, 2020 8:00 AM Pfizer and IBM researchers claim to have developed a machine learning technique that can predict Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms develop. By analyzing small samples of language data obtained from clinical verbal tests, the team says their approach achieved 71% accuracy when tested against a group of cognitively healthy people. Alzheimer’s disease begins with vague, often misinterpreted signs of mild memory loss followed by a slow, progressively serious decline in cognitive ability and quality of life. According to the nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association, more than 5 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s, and every state is expected to […]
