New Findings in Dementia Described from Ritsumeikan University (Radar-based Gait Analysis By Transformer-liked Network for Dementia Diagnosis).

Researchers from Ritsumeikan University in Shiga, Japan have developed a novel radar-based gait analysis strategy using a Transformer-like network for dementia diagnosis. The study found that gait features have potential as a clinical marker for dementia diagnosis. The proposed model achieved a high accuracy of 94.93% in frequency domain processing-based experiments, outperforming other methods. This research provides reliable diagnostic evidence for dementia diagnosis and aims to minimize the financial and physical burdens on patients. [Extracted from the article]
