Summary
For episode 100 of Healthtech Talks, Lucas and Luna explore how machine learning models are detecting early biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease from routine eye scans and speech patterns — years before cognitive symptoms appear. They dive into a 2025 study from the University of Edinburgh that used retinal imaging to predict disease onset with 85 percent accuracy, and discuss how the technology could transform screening in primary care. The hosts also touch on the ethical questions around early diagnosis without effective treatments, and what this means for drug trials and patient planning. A focused look at the intersection of ophthalmology, AI, and neurodegeneration. #Alzheimers #AI #Healthtech #DigitalHealth #MedicalAI #RetinalImaging #EarlyDiagnosis #MachineLearning #Ophthalmology #Neurodegeneration #UniversityOfEdinburgh #PredictiveAnalytics #HealthcareInnovation #Biomarkers #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HealthtechTalks Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
