Boston University researchers have developed an AI model that can predict with 78.5% accuracy whether a person with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer’s disease within six years. This model analyzes patient speech and could revolutionize early detection and treatment options.
Paschalidis and his colleagues were given audio recordings of 166 initial interviews with people, between ages 63 and 97, diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment—76 who would remain stable for the next six years and 90 whose cognitive function would progressively decline.
That’s important, because the project was partly about testing AI’s ability to make the process of dementia diagnosis more efficient and automated, with little human involvement. In the future, the researchers say, models like theirs could be used to bring care to patients who aren’t near medical centers or to provide routine monitoring through interaction with an at-home app, drastically increasing the number of people who get screened.
