Recent research suggests that detecting Alzheimer's disease may shift from eye movement analysis to using ear vibrations. A new device aims to track eye movements through eardrum vibrations.
Current eye movement assessments for diagnosing Alzheimer's require costly tracking equipment, which isn't accessible for many patients. This new technology promises affordability and practicality.
Doctors analyze changes in eye movements, such as saccades, to identify Alzheimer’s risk. Individuals with the disease struggle with these eye shifts, reflecting possible brain deterioration.
With Alzheimer’s cases projected to increase to 13 million by 2050, finding reliable and cost-effective early detection methods is crucial for managing this growing health crisis.
