by A recent development in the field of dementia diagnostics has emerged, with an AI-based diagnostic tool showing promising results in distinguishing between various types of dementia diseases based on the analysis of eye movement patterns.
The groundbreaking research, published in the journal “Neurology,” reveals that this advanced diagnostic tool, developed by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, can differentiate between Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease with dementia, and healthy individuals with remarkable accuracy.
The team of researchers, led by Dr. Robert Bowles, used eye-tracking technology to record the Eye Movement of participants as they followed a moving target on a computer screen. The AI algorithm then analyzed the data to identify unique patterns in the eye movements of each group.
The results showed that the AI tool could accurately distinguish between Alzheimer’s patients and healthy individuals with 93% accuracy. Furthermore, it could differentiate between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease with dementia with an impressive 86% accuracy rate.
This non-invasive and relatively quick diagnostic method could potentially revolutionize the way we diagnose and manage dementia diseases, providing earlier and more accurate diagnoses, and ultimately, improving patient outcomes.
The researchers are now planning to expand their study to include a larger and more diverse patient population to further validate the effectiveness of this innovative diagnostic tool.
A novel AI-based diagnostic tool has demonstrated the ability to differentiate between various types of dementia diseases by analyzing eye movement patterns, offering the potential for earlier and more accurate diagnoses, and ultimately, improved patient care.
