Quick, Cheap Alzheimer Screening with DETECT

The Article has images
2008-01-17 11:14:00 by Editor in Ubergizmo
DETECT is an Alzheimer early detection system. It works by running a 10-minute test that measures reaction time and memory that would reveal symptoms of Alzheimers disease. It is reported that this 10-minute test is as accurate as a 90-minute pen+paper one. This is another example of how tech can boost productivity and lower the cost of...
