Article Synopsis
- Early detection of dementia is vital, but traditional diagnostic methods often miss the mark; leveraging patients' Electronic Medical Records with machine learning models can help identify both the presence and severity of the disease more accurately.
- The study uses a hybrid approach, involving dementia experts and machine learning techniques like random forests and decision trees, to classify and interpret dementia cases based on structured clinical data from elderly patients.
- The findings show strong predictive accuracy for dementia diagnosis (f1-score of 0.93) and severity (f1-score of 0.81), while also enhancing the interpretability of the models through decision trees.
