Using AI to Predict and Monitor Human Performance and Neurological Disease
In the quest for effective treatments aimed at devastating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and ALS, there is a critical need for robust methods to predict and monitor disease progression. AI-based approaches offer promise in this important area. Panelists will discuss efforts to map movement-related disorders and use machine learning to predict the path of disease with imaging and biomarkers.
