AI May Detect "Earliest Symptoms" of Dementia by Analyzing Speech

Source: APA PsycPORT™: Psychology NewswireA new artificial intelligence-powered tool aims to detect signs of Alzheimer's and other memory disorders by analyzing a person's speech patterns. The system is called CognoSpeak. In early trials that included both Alzheimer's patients and cognitively heathy people, the tool showed 90% accuracy in identifying those with dementia—which is just as accurate as "pen-and-paper tests," according to a press release announcing the new tool.
