The Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioural changes, significantly impacting patients’ quality of life and placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Despite extensive research, effective treatments to halt or reverse its progression remain elusive. Traditional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches often fall short in early detection and personalized intervention. This paper explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods in revolutionizing the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. It used various AI methodologies, their application in early diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, drug discovery, and disease progression monitoring. It discussed specific algorithms, illustrate their use with examples, present current research findings, and conclude with the challenges and future directions of AI in combating this complex disease.
