Abstract:
As the world's population ages, Alzheimer's disease is currently the seventh most common
cause of death globally; the burden is anticipated to increase, especially among middle-class
and elderly persons. Artificial intelligence-based algorithms that work well in hospital environments
can be used to identify Alzheimer's disease.
A number of databases were searched for English-language articles published up until March 1,
2024, that examined the relationships between artificial intelligence techniques, eye movements,
and Alzheimer's disease.
A novel non-invasive method called eye movement analysis may be able to reflect cognitive processes
and identify anomalies in Alzheimer's disease. Artificial intelligence, particularly deep
learning, and machine learning, is required to enhance Alzheimer's disease detection using eye
movement data. One sort of deep learning technique that shows promise is convolutional neural
networks, which need further data for precise classification. Nonetheless, machine learning models
showed a high degree of accuracy in this context. Artificial intelligence-driven eye movement
analysis holds promise for enhancing clinical evaluations, enabling tailored treatment, and fostering
the development of early and precise Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.
A combination of artificial intelligence-based systems and eye movement analysis can provide a
window for early and non-invasive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Despite ongoing difficulties
with early Alzheimer's disease detection, this presents a novel strategy that may have consequences
for clinical evaluations and customized medication to improve early and accurate diagnosis.
