Longitudinal observational cohort study: Speech for Intelligent cognition change tracking and DEtection of Alzheimer's Disease (SIDE-AD).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is emerging evidence that speech may be a potential indicator and manifestation of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Therefore, the University of Edinburgh and Sony Research have partnered to create the Speech for Intelligent cognition change tracking and DEtection of Alzheimer's Disease (SIDE-AD) study, which aims to develop digital speech-based biomarkers for use in neurodegenerative disease.
