Earpiece Technology Detects Alzheimer's via Eye and Sound Signals
TL;DR
Researchers are developing earpiece microphones, or 'hearables,' to detect early signs of Alzheimer's by monitoring eye movement signals through eardrum vibrations. This noninvasive method offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional eye trackers, potentially enabling long-term monitoring for Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders. The research, led by teams from École de Technologie Supérieure and Dartmouth University, aims to create health-monitoring algorithms for continuous disease detection.
