AI making a difference in dementia!

The NCHA Healthy Ageing Data Platform team featured here for their pivotal work using AI to bring together information held within medical records – including text in clinical notes – to identify people who are highly likely to have dementia.

We have developed an AI tool that can help us recognise clues for dementia from electronic hospital records – even when doctors and other healthcare workers miss them. We’re using AI to efficiently and safely read thousands of medical notes – and pull out these clues. By combining these clues with traditional methods, we are able to recognise the presence of dementia much more accurately.
