Forecasting the progression of Alzheimer's disease using neural networks and a novel preprocessing algorithm

Abstract

There is a 99.6% failure rate of clinical trials for drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease, likely because Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients cannot be easily identified at early stages. This study investigated machine learning approaches to use clinical data to predict the progression of AD in future years.
