Image Recognition
NIHR has invested nearly £11 million of funding to develop new digital approaches for the early detection and diagnosis of dementia. This prioritised funding for dementia is a substantial injection into the research funding landscape. Professor David Sharp, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine - £1,509,552Title: Detecting and monitoring dementia using dynamic digital biomarkers of night-time behaviour and sleep. Dr George Stothart, University of Bath - £1,499,639Title: Diagnosing dementia using Fastball neurocognitive assessmentDeveloping an image-recognition test called Fastball that can help detect the early stages of dementia. Dr Charles Marshall, Queen Mary University of London - £1,787,342Title: Digital assessment of auditory perception in dementia (DIADEM)Evaluating new hearing tests that measure early brain changes in dementia.
