Improving Alzheimer’s prevention and care
Fulton Schools researchers are contributing to deeper understanding of Alzheimer’s as part of efforts at ASU to better diagnosis, treat and perhaps also prevent the debilitating disease. Researchers in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, for instance, are aiding work on advances in brain scans and positron emission tomography imaging techniques that can improve detection of Alzheimer’s disease. Fulton Schools engineers are also working with ASU’s Biodesign Institute to train doctoral students to help develop new artificial intelligence, or AI, to that can help people who have the disease. Fulton Schools graduate students are also getting opportunities to assist in the research projects.
