Summary
This study tested whether an artificial intelligence system could detect mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease by analyzing simple self-figure drawings. Over 3,400 older adults drew themselves on paper, and the AI learned to spot patterns linked to cognitive decline. The goal is to create a cheap, non-invasive screening tool that could help catch memory problems early, before expensive tests are needed.
