Study Summary

Through artificial intelligence technology, we have conducted a preliminary study aimed at identifying differences in facial expressions among healthy individuals, patients with cognitive decline, and dementia patients. This research offers a novel method and tool for dementia screening, contributing to effective strategies for dementia prevention in our country. By utilizing this approach, we can effectively delay the onset of disability, promote healthy aging among our elderly population, reduce the caregiving burden on individuals, families, and society, and lower medical expenses.
