Dementia news: Researchers know enough about the early warning signs of dementia now that an artificial intelligence machine learning algorithm can correctly predict who will develop dementia within two years with 92% accuracy.

When this type of diagnostic tool is widely available, it will have huge implications on the early treatment of dementia and will help millions of people. I hope they make the AI look like a puppy.
