Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting people of more than 65 years of age, though current health trends show these conditions appearing at earlier stages also. This may be attributed to lifestyle changes and increased exposure to harmful chemicals. Once progressed to later stages, these brain-related disorders are very difficult to treat. But, if detected earlier, they can be managed better, prolonging the life of the patient. Today, AI is bringing revolutionary changes in the realm of healthcare and health services. Now there are tools that can help in the early detection of these brain conditions, thus saving time of patients and doctors with increasing confidence in test reports. These tools can change the way we perceive these brain conditions, and they could change the scenario of diagnosis of AD from being very difficult with a high chance of error to early detection and prediction of the same with a high degree of precision.
