Project Overview

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and affects 44 million people worldwide. These numbers are predicted to triple by 2050. There is a pressing need for a simple, accessible and efficient system for detecting and monitoring AD. This would improve the lives of people living with Alzheimer’s, accelerate clinical trials, and reduce individual and societal costs. Our team has developed a fully-automated assessment that uses natural language and machine learning to detect cognitive impairment. The software analyzes hundreds of variables in speech and language collected in free-form picture description.

AGE-WELL supported startup uses technology to track Alzheimer’s
