Dementia is a brain disorder that interferes with a person's cognitive and behavioral abilities. Unfortunately, late diagnosis is common. Detection of people with suspected dementia in any setting requires a brief and simple test such as MMSE which has become the best‐known and the most often used short screening dementia tool. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of MMSE screening tool based digital system. We used data from the OASIS Longitudinal dataset provided by the University of Washington Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research, Randy Buckner of the Howard Hughes Institute of Medicine at Harvard University, the Neuroinformatics Research Group at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and the Biomedical Informatics Research Network. The dataset was processed through training and testing using an artificial neural network architecture. From this data, a machine learning training process was carried out and obtained diagnostic accuracy of 78%. Thus, The early detection of dementia using MMSE tool based digital system is suitable for use as a dementia risk screening process tool in a clinical setting. Further studies are needed to assess diagnostic accuracy using primary data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
