Abstract

Elucidating Alzheimer's disease (AD) prodromal symptoms can resolve the outstanding challenge of early diagnosis. Based on intrinsically related substrates of olfaction and spatial navigation, we propose a novel experimental framework for their conjoint study. Artificial intelligence-driven multimodal study combining self-collected olfactory and motion data with available big clinical datasets can potentially promote high-precision early clinical screenings to facilitate timely interventions targeting neurodegenerative progression.
