- Description
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) starts damaging the brain >10 years before memory problems begin. To reduce dementia incidence, we must detect AD earlier so we can target prevention through early clinical trial recruitment and risk reduction (that could prevent 40% cases). With 10,000 available UTAS research participants and 200 patients from RHH and the community, we aim to develop a test to detect early signs of AD by analysing hand- AND speech- movements using a smartphone and machine learning algorithms.

- Description
- Global dementia prevalence is rising. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause, has devastating effects on people's quality of life. AD has a preclinical (pre-AD) period of 10-20 years when brain pathology silently progresses before any cognitive symptoms appear. Current tests for pre-AD are invasive, costly and unsuitable for screening at population level. If we can't identify people with pre-AD, we can't offer them early interventions. This hinders our strategies to reduce AD prevalence. We will develop a new scalable test (HandTest) by combining two innovative ideas: hand-movement tests to detect pre-AD >10 years before cognitive symptoms begin; and computer vision so people can self-test online at home. This unique approach builds on the recent discoveries that the posterior cingulate cortex (the first brain region to show abnormalities in pre-AD) is involved in hand-movement control, and that hand-movement patterns change in pre-AD. We will use exquisitely precise computer vision methods to automatically analyse movement data from thousands of participants, who complete the online test by simply opening and closing their hands repeatedly for 5 minutes in front of a standard computer, tablet or smartphone camera. The CI/AI team of experts in hand-movement analysis, pre-AD, computer vision, AD biomarkers and biostatistics has access to 3 well-phenotyped cohorts, >10,000 existing participants and a cutting-edge assay for a blood AD biomarker, ptau181. We will develop a HandTest algorithm to classify hand-movement data for pre-AD risk. In a longitudinal cohort we will determine HandTest's precision to prospectively predict 5-year risks of cognitive decline and AD. This is the critical first step for up-scaling HandTest nationwide via memory clinics of the Australian Dementia Network. With worldwide access to computers, tablets and smartphones increasing, HandTest is scalable globally, potentially transforming dementia prevention and management.
