Automatic prediction of cognitive and functional decline can significantly decrease the number of subjects required for clinical trials in early Alzheimer's disease

no code implementations • 20 Jan 2021 • Neda Shafiee, Mahsa Dadar, Simon Ducharme, D. Louis Collins

INTRODUCTION: Heterogeneity in the progression of Alzheimer's disease makes it challenging to predict the rate of cognitive and functional decline for individual patients.
