AI dementia tool to be trialled in US hospitals
Summary: An AI tool, trained on Australian dementia cases, will be trialled in US hospitals to predict 10 dementia causes. With 78 million dementia cases expected by 2030, the tool aims to improve diagnosis accuracy using MRI scans and medical histories. Boston University scientists lead the research, showing AI's effectiveness in identifying dementia causes. The study, published in Nature Medicine, compares neurologists' accuracy with and without the AI tool.
