But, by then, it\u2019s probably already too late: memories have started slipping away, long established personality traits have begun subtly shifting. If caught early, new pioneering treatments can slow the disease\u2019s remorseless progression, but there\u2019s no surefire way to predict who will develop the dementia associated with Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Boston University researchers say they have designed a promising new artificial intelligence computer program, or model, that could one day help change that\u2014just by analyzing a patient\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/articles\/2024\/new-ai-program-could-predict-alzheimers-disease\/\" class=\"button-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read about the impactful research being done on using artificial intelligence to calculate the probability of Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18839,"featured_media":13205,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[232,230,35,244],"tags":[34,525,572,299,571],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13203"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18839"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13203"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13210,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13203\/revisions\/13210"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
