AI Model Predicts Alzheimer's Risk Years Before Symptoms Emerge by Analyzing Medical Records
- Used machine learning to analyze medical records and predict Alzheimer's disease up to 7 years early
- High cholesterol and osteoporosis were important early risk factors, especially for women
- Combines clinical data with genetics databases to understand biology behind predictions
- Aims to eventually use approach to predict other complex diseases like lupus
- Demonstrates promise of AI to spot early patterns in data to enable early diagnosis
