AI Voice Analysis Could Boost Alzheimer’s Detection #shorts

Using artificial intelligence to analyze a recording of someone’s voice could cut the duration of an Alzheimer’s screening from several hours to less than 10 minutes.

Currently, Alzheimer’s screenings can involve brain scans and analysis of cerebral fluid collected from the spine via a procedure called a lumbar puncture. Researchers from universities in Texas and Georgia compared the results of those standard tests to their new AI-powered voice screening.

The experimental technique identifies subtle changes in a person’s voice that could indicate cognitive problems and Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms are evident. Results of the study were published earlier this year by the Alzheimer’s Association in Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring. #shorts #ai #artificialintelligence #dementiaawareness #alzheimer #brainhealth #voiceanalysis #webmd
