Healthcare Hackers: Neus Diagnostics – Keeping an eye on dementia
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. MCI contributes to 60–70 per cent of dementia cases, an illness for which there is currently no cure.However, very early-stage existing therapies can improve and prolong cognitive function. Neus is a software solution for detecting MCI that combines eye-tracking technology, digitalised neuropsychological tests with an AI-based decision support system. In this episode, Vida Groznik, one of the co-founders and the CEO of Neus Diagnostics, spoke with Andrew Wrobel about how her team came up with the solution that helps diagnose dementia and other diseases, as well as the challenges her start-up has faced and overcome.
