Broadcast Retirement Network's Jeffrey Snyder discusses the latest approaches to Alzheimer's research with clinical psychologist Thomas R. Verny, MD. The disease is prevalent in North American society and is predicted to double to about 12 million Americans by 2050. At present, there are about 6 to 7 million Americans with Alzheimer's, and it is the third cause of death in the world. How do you get diagnosed? Based on the symptoms such as forgetfulness, behavior changes, and becoming paranoid, violent, or more sexualized. MRI scans, PET scans, and spinal taps can provide reliable diagnosis. However, artificial intelligence is being introduced as a tool that can predict the onset of Alzheimer's or not.
