Mobile application for diagnosing alzheimer's based on clinical dementia rating

Abstract

Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory loss, impaired thinking abilities, and changes in behavior. It is the most common form of dementia, significantly affecting a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Statistics indicate that the number of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's worldwide continues to rise as the population ages. Diagnosing Alzheimer's is a complex process that typically requires a skilled medical team. One diagnostic tool that can be utilized is an MRI machine. Previous research focused on extracting features from MRI images taken from three different cross-sections: axial, coronal, and sagittal. Based on these three types of cross-sectional images, we developed a system to classify the severity of Alzheimer's. This paper focuses on creating an Alzheimer's classification system accessible through a mobile application. The results indicate that our system has a performance accuracy of 90% in classifying the severity of the disease.
