Scientists to use AI to analyse 1.6m brain scans to develop tool predicting dementia risk
Researchers will use artificial intelligence to match image data of patients from Scotland with linked health records
The team will use AI and machine learning to match the image data with linked health records to find patterns that could help doctors better determine a person’s risk of developing dementia. The number of people living with dementia globally is forecast to nearly triple to 153 million by 2050, and researchers warn this presents a rapidly growing threat to health and social care systems. “Should we establish a successful proof of concept, we will have a suite of software tools that are smoothly and unobtrusively integrated with routine radiology operations that assist clinical decision-making and flag the risk of dementia as early as possible.”
