Embodiment Construction

[0039] A system for the analysis and assessment of dementia. figure 1 Shown is an example environment 100 for an example system 102 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. use figure 1 The illustrated embodiment system 102 can implement Figure 4 in the craft.

[0040] The environment 100 shown includes a network 104 in communication with a system 102 . System 102 in turn includes one or more system modules, such as 106, 107, 108, 110, operable in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. The various system modules, such as 106, 107, 108, 110, can communicate with each other via the network 104 or via an associated network 112, such as a local area network (LAN). For example, in the embodiment shown, the system modules may be a data collection module 106 , a spectrum / reliability module 107 , a report generation module 108 , and a study analysis module 110 . The data collection module 106 and spectrum / reliability module 107 may communicate with the r...

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for anaiyzing and assessing dementia and dementia-type disorders by integrating the use of electroencephalography (EEG), neuropsychological or cognitive testing data, and cardiovascular risk factor data. Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for early detection of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VAD), mixed dementia (AD and VAD), MCI, and other dementia-type disorders. Embodiments of the invention can provide some or all of the following improvements over conventional systems and methods, including: (1) Increased sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy; (2) Detection of AD, VAD and mixed dementia; and (3) Accurate detection of mild dementia and some cases of mild cognitive impairment in addition to the detection of moderate to severe dementia.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60 / 815,373, filed June 21, 2006, and entitled "Systems and Methods for Analyzing and Assessing Dementia," the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein as Reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to the detection of biological disorders. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for analyzing and evaluating dementia and dementia-like disorders. Background technique [0003] The American Council on Technology Assessment estimates that as many as 6.8 million Americans have mild to severe dementia. According to the Alzheimer's Association, about 4.5 million (or about two-thirds) of dementia patients are especially afflicted by Alzheimer's disease (AD). Vascular dementia (VAD) is the second most common mode of dementia, accounting for approximately one-tenth to one-third of cases. So, if each potential patient is scanned or otherwise...
