Description
There is a combination of tests available for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but they are sometimes difficult to administer, and often require a physician to administer and interpret the results. This project is an attempt at combining the most effective AD early diagnosis tests into one application that either caregivers or physicians can administer. The score of each test is given to a physician to determine the severity of AD. The combined score can also be used by caregivers as a determinate of whether the patient should visit the primary physician or not.
