Development of Prediction Model for Brain Amyloid-Beta Accumulation Using Wristband Sensor
TOKYO, Dec 29, 2023 - (JCN Newswire) - Oita University and Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) hereby announce the development of the world's first machine learning model to predict amyloid beta*1 (Aβ) accumulation in the brain using a wristband sensor.
- TOKYO, Dec 29, 2023 - (JCN Newswire) - Oita University and Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) hereby announce the development of the world's first machine learning model to predict amyloid beta*1 (Aβ) accumulation in the brain using a wristband sensor.
- This model is expected to enable screening for brain Aβ accumulation, which is an important pathological factor of Alzheimer's disease*2 (AD), simply by collecting biological and lifestyle data from daily life.
- The key to maximizing treatment effects of the medicine is detecting Abeta accumulation in the brain of patients with mild cognitive impairment before the onset of symptoms.
- This machine learning model is able to predict brain Aβ accumulation using readily available non-invasive variables.
