Non-Invasive Assessment Of Glymphatic Flow And Neurodegeneration From A Wearable Device

A computer-implemented method and system includes accessing neurophysiological and neurovascular data recorded during sleep. A function mapping is executed from said neurophysiological and neurovascular data to a target that is one of a glymphatic flow marker, a molecular analysis marker of neurodegeneration, or a neuroimaging marker of neurodegeneration. A target prediction model is output based on the function mapping. The target prediction model can receive new neurophysiological and neurovascular data and output a predicted marker of neurodegeneration.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALZHEIMER?S DISEASE RISK QUANTIFICATION UTILIZING INTERFEROMETRIC MICRO - DOPPLER RADAR AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
20230078905 · 2023-03-16 ·

A system and method for quantifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk using one or more interferometric micro-Doppler radars (IMDRs) and deep learning artificial intelligence to distinguish between cognitively unimpaired individuals and persons with AD based on gait analysis. The system utilizes IMDR to capture signals from both radial and transversal movement in three-dimensional space to further increase the accuracy for human gait estimation. New deep learning technologies are designed to complement traditional machine learning involving separate feature extraction followed-up with classification to process radar signature from different views including side, front, depth, limbs, and whole body where some motion patterns are not easily describable. The disclosed cross-talk deep model is the first to apply deep learning to learn IMDR signatures from two perpendicular directions jointly from both healthy and unhealthy individuals. Decision fusion is used to integrate classification results from feature-based classifier and deep learning AI to reach optimal decision.
