"AI-Driven Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease"

Researchers at UCSF have developed an AI method that can predict Alzheimer’s Disease up to seven years before symptoms appear by analyzing patient records with machine learning. High cholesterol and osteoporosis, particularly in women, were identified as significant predictors. By integrating clinical data with genetic databases, the team has identified genes linked to Alzheimer’s, offering new avenues for early diagnosis and understanding the interplay between different health conditions and Alzheimer’s risk. This approach promises to enhance precision medicine for Alzheimer’s and other challenging diseases.
