Them artificial intelligence (AI) He came into our world to stay. Although experts warn of the consequences of abuse technologyalso has many good things. Thanks to AI it will be possible risk prediction that anyone has to suffer dementia.
Hundreds of thousands of brain scans will be analyzed, helping to create a digital tool to prevent diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The study is conducted by the Universities of Edinburgh and Dundeein Scotland. This group of 20 scientists works in a so-called international research collaboration NEURi.
The scientists gained access to confidential patient records with approval from the Public Interest and Privacy Commission for Health and Social Care, part of the National Health Service for Scotland.
The project has been staffed 1.6 million brain scans taken from all Scottish residents between 2008 and 2018. Prof Emanuele Truccoan expert in AI and medical imaging at the University of Dundee, said: “This new data set will be of great use to neurological researchers.”
“If we achieve a successful proof of concept, we will have software tools that will seamlessly and seamlessly integrate with routine radiology services, that will help in clinical decision-making and detect the risk of dementia as early as possible.” pointed out.
For his part, the professor Will Whiteley, from the Center for Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Edinburgh, who coordinated the SCAN-DAN project, highlighted: “Currently, treatments for dementia are expensive, inadequate and of uncertain value. If we can get data from a large group of people at high risk, who agree to participate in trials, we can start developing new treatments.
In addition, earlier this year, researchers at the University of Edinburgh achieved a breakthrough in prediction whether patients are at risk of diseases, including Alzheimer’s dementia, using machine learning to analyze medical data from the UK Biobank to predict disease risk up to 10 years before diagnosis.
