Iranian Scientists Design AI-Based Software to Diagnose Alzheimer's
“Our knowledge-based company has provided a smart software in the field of medicine. This artificial intelligence-based software is used to diagnose Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, which are progressive, destructive and long-term disorders of the central nervous system,” Mohammad Mehdi Matinfar, the managing director of the knowledge-based company stationed at the incubator center of Islamic Azad University’s Ilam branch, told ANA.
“This software processes the images by using MIR images and using artificial neural networks and predicts whether the suspected person is suffering of disease or not,” he added.
“The biggest advantage of this smart software is its accuracy. Using an artificial intelligence model, the software enjoys an accuracy of over 97%,” Matinfar said.
In a relevant development in November, researchers at Iranian Ferdowsi University of Mashhad had also produced a medicine in the form of sweets and chewing gum to treat Alzheimer's that is very comfortable for the elderly to take and it helps to prevent the disease.
Ferdowsi University of Mashhad is one of the prominent universities in producing pharmaceuticals medicines and is home to many researchers in the medical field.
Maria Beihaghi is the managing director of Ferdowsi Technology Nanobiosis Company, which is one of the companies located at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's growth center, said in an interview that their company is made up of university faculty members and specialists in the fields of biotechnology, drug chemistry, immunology, allergy, clinical and medical biochemistry.
She said that the researchers at their company started work on biotechnological products, cosmetics, production of diagnostic kits, and also providing specialized services in the field of molecular genetics, genomics and bioinformatics 2021.
“We have been able to produce a medicine in the form of sweets for the elderly and people with Alzheimer because it is easier to take,” Beihaghi said
“This drug can help prevent Alzheimer's disease and it acts as a remedy for it,” she also said while noting that the medicine plays a greater role in preventing the disease than treating it.
