Machine learning-based screening for outpatients with dementia using drawing features from the clock drawing test.

In geriatrics and dementia care, early diagnosis is crucial.

This study included 129 older adults attending a dementia outpatient clinic.

Aim: Awareness reform aims to enable survival in an aging society, and ultimately, improve healthcare. An ideal way to achieve this is by implementing Advance directive (Ad) and Advance Care Planning (ACP), which do not usually include postmortem events. This study aims to create opportunities for Ad and ACP to include the postmortem period as a trigger for this awareness reform.
