Alzheimer’s Research UK has launched a global initiative to revolutionise the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.
The project will be trialled by a million people in the UK and includes wearing a smartwatch style device to detect early signs of dementia by using artificial intelligence to monitor more than 30 indicators, such as speech, gait, fine motor skills and sleep.
President of Alzheimer’s Research UK, David Cameron said: “I strongly believe we are on the cusp of a revolution in how we detect the brain diseases that cause dementia and radically improve the lives of the millions on families facing these heart-breaking diseases.
“Early and accurate diagnosis will give future treatments the head-start they need to succeed. Early Detection of Neurodegenerative diseases (EDoN) brings together those at the forefront of this early diagnosis movement”.

She may be 80-years-old but Marjorie Scholes is beating adults almost half her age at gymnastics with body-bending stunts that one may think defies the laws of nature.
Gymnast Marjorie Scholes has just claimed silver in the 2019 Adult Gymnastics British Championships (over 45s category).
The grandmother competed alongside 300 gymnasts participating in the national gymnastics competition, hosted on 3-4 August in Shropshire.
While she’s not afraid to take a tumble while doing floor exercises, she says her much-loved hobby has boosted her morale and confidence as well as her physical health.
‘Moves parts, I have never used before’
“I love the sport because it gets me out, keeps me fit and moves parts of my anatomy that I have never used before.

“I also love being amongst gymnasts of all ages and having a coach who has given me so much encouragement and made me believe that I could do it.”
