AI predicts Alzheimer's 7 years early with 70% accuracy

Decrypt July 4, 2024, 05:00 AM UTC

Summary: An AI model can predict Alzheimer's disease up to seven years in advance with 70% accuracy, increasing to 80% the day before diagnosis. By incorporating demographic details, accuracy can reach 90%. The study used medical records of over 250,000 individuals, identifying early predictors like high cholesterol and osteoporosis. This early detection could revolutionize Alzheimer's treatment.

What is this?

This is article metrics. Combined, they form a significance score, that indicates how important the news is on a scale from 0 to 10.

My algorithm scores 10,000 news articles daily, and creates a single significance-ordered list of news.
