AI tool accurately diagnoses dementia types
StateViewer is a new AI tool from Mayo Clinic that can spot nine types of dementia—including Alzheimer's—with about 88% accuracy.
It works by comparing brain scans to a massive database, helping doctors see patterns they might otherwise miss.
TL;DR
How the tool works
What's cool is StateViewer gives easy-to-read, color-coded brain maps, making tricky diagnoses clearer—especially for patients with complicated histories.
As Dr. David Jones puts it, the tool offers "clearer and earlier insights."
Next up: real-world testing in clinics to see if it can become part of everyday care and help people get treatment sooner.
