Valley teen uses AI to improve Alzheimer's diagnosis after losing her grandmother to the disease:
"If we focus more on those biological concepts and combine them together, we can help a lot," says Alexis Li as she describes her research project on Alzheimer's.
"One of the best ways we can tell is using MRI scans, but the changes can be subtle, especially for patients in the earlier stages," said Li. "A cool thing about AI is it can notice patterns that we haven't so we can do more research on specific brain pathways or look into new symptoms that could appear for a patient," she said.
"It was really hard watching all the videos and suddenly she wouldn't really remember who I was or who my dad was," remembers Li, whose own mind is now set on making a difference.Just stepping into senior year at Hamilton High School, Li's research is already so thorough that she's poked holes in some of the most prominent medical journals.
