Alzheimer’s is a leading cause of death worldwide and is set to become even more of an issue in the coming decades as populations continue to age. The disease often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and there is still no reliable cure. AI will thus play an increasingly important part both in diagnosing and eventually treating Alzheimer’s.

AI-based eye screening holds great promise as a way of spotting early signs of eye diseases and many other ailments that can cause eye disorders, enabling medical professionals to act early while these maladies are still treatable, for better patient outcomes and lower costs.
