Application of Machine Learning Techniques in the HELIAD Study Data for the Development of Diagnostic Models in MCI and Dementia.

The increase in the population's life expectancy leads to an increase in the incidence of dementia and, therefore, in diseases such as Alzheimer's. Towards this direction, the HELIAD study is the first large-scale epidemiological study aimed at assessing epidemiological data on dementia, mild mental decline, and other neuropsychiatric disorders associated with old age. This is a huge study with several computational challenges, most of which can be addressed by machine learning processes.
