PhD Overview

My research will provide an innovative, data-driven tool for the early prediction of Alzheimer’s Disease, focusing on mental health data and other modifiable factors. By identifying high-risk individuals early, the developed tool has the potential to facilitate timely interventions that may delay or prevent dementia onset, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the healthcare burden.

Sustainability Goals

  • Gender Equality
  • Good Health and Well-being
