A Digital Screening System for Alzheimer Disease Based on a Neuropsychological Test and a Convolutional Neural Network: System Development and Validation.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) and other types of dementia are now considered one of the world's most pressing health problems for aging people worldwide. It was the seventh-leading cause of death, globally, in 2019. With a growing number of patients with dementia and increasing costs for treatment and care, early detection of the disease at the stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) will prevent the rapid progression of dementia.
