Alzheimer
Overview
Alzheimer disease is a progressive neurologic disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells to die. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia — a continuous decline in thinking, behavioral and social skills that affects a person’s ability to function independently.
The early signs of the disease include forgetting recent events or conversations. As the disease progresses, a person with Alzheimer’s disease will develop severe memory impairment and lose the ability to carry out everyday tasks.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of Alzheimer may include:
- At first, a person with Alzheimer’s disease may be aware of having difficulty remembering things and organizing thoughts
- Memory :- Repeat statements and questions over and over
- Thinking and reasoning :- It causes difficulty concentrating and thinking, especially about abstract concepts such as numbers.
- Making judgments and decisions :- It causes a decline in the ability to make reasonable decisions and judgments in everyday situations.
- Planning and performing familiar tasks :- Once-routine activities that require sequential steps, such as planning and cooking a meal or playing a favorite game, become a struggle as the disease progresses.
- Changes in personality and behavior :- Brain changes that occur in Alzheimer’s disease can affect moods and behaviors like Depression, Apathy, Social withdrawal, Mood swings, Distrust in others, Irritability and aggressiveness

Model
To make the prediction you need to upload a PET SCAN, MRI, CT & Brain scan images.
The Model returns NORMAL if there is no sign of Alzheimer’s disease, and ALZHEIMER if it detects Alzheimer’s disease symptoms
