Using virtual reality to diagnose Alzheimer's disease | BBC News

Scientists are testing the possibility of using virtual reality (VR) to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease.
Pen and paper tests date back to the 1940s and are still one of the markers that may be used for diagnosis today.
With no single definitive way to confirm the disease, a combination of different tests and investigations are usually carried out by health professionals.
Researchers, at University College London, are testing if VR can help confirm an early diagnosis of the disease before it reaches the severe stages of dementia.

I always get lost in game maps just in general and get VR sickness when using it, so I can't see how this helps.

This RUclips clip may have been uploaded recently but it’s one from a few weeks or months ago. I have already seen this. I expect to see newer news clips. This should have been uploaded when that episode of Click came out. Was expecting the to be a new news story.

Interesting news but background music makes this news report hard to listen. Why can't we just listen to the speakers talk without any interference from other noise?!

What is causing all this massive increase in all diseases over the last couple of years? 🤔

[@uksubhanart_]

Probably, food is the first reason of it

[@geoffbirchall7552]

@@uksubhanart_ I would say more likely it was a certain injection most of the populations of earth had to take.

[@chubbycheeks2731]

Getting old 😂

Food and cookware also causes it. Never use aluminum foil.

It's exciting that we can predict the chances of dementia before symptoms occur using virtual reality. Kudos to the team at the University of London behind this breakthrough.
