Искусственный интеллект в предимптомных неврологических заболеваниях: преодоление обычных вариаций и продромальных сигнатур.

Пресимптоматические неврологические заболевания характеризуются ранними патологическими изменениями, которые происходят до появления явных клинических симптомов. Эти стадии, которые включают в себя такие продромы, как расстройство поведения сна РЕМ в Паркинсоне или слабое когнитивное расстройство в Альцгеймере, открывают важные возможности для раннего вмешательства. Однако их обнаружение по-прежнему сопряжено с трудностями из-за тонкости изменений и дублирования с обычной межиндивидуальной изменчивостью.
