Detecting Dementia Early with AI
With AI, signs of dementia can be detected early.
University of Missouri
Can artificial intelligence detect the first signs of dementia – even before doctors notice them?
A recent article on FOCUS Online presents a study by the University of Missouri:
A research team uses motion sensors to detect minimal changes in everyday life – and uses AI to provide clues to early-stage dementia.
The exciting part:
These changes often go unnoticed in normal everyday life – even by doctors or relatives.
AI can make them visible.
Mentalee's Mission
Our app helps offer a solution to people at increased risk, and in parallel, we are currently developing an AI system that can detect signs of dementia based on movement data in daily exercises and challenges.
🎯 Our goal: A playful app that is accessible to everyone anytime, anywhere – without sensors in the living space or prior medical knowledge.
💡 Research shows where things are heading.
Mentalee brings it into real life.
