It's estimated someone in the world develops Alzheimer's every 3 seconds, with the number of people with the disease set to triple over the next 50 years.
The AI algorithm researchers have developed here is designed to process data from MRI scans and responses to check-up questionnaires called 'cognitive tests' using complex data processing technologies.
