Frequently asked questions about the ABATED study
Research shows that some ethnic groups and individuals from poorer areas are diagnosed with dementia later and less well. We want to test our artificial intelligence (AI) technology on patients from East London memory clinics as this represents an ethnically diverse and under-served population. If our technology is accurate, and if it can be used in the clinical setting in the future, then it can help to provide a fair and accurate diagnosis across diverse groups.
We hope that our technology will be used by doctors, alongside other assessment tools used in the memory clinic and clinical decision-making, to help reach a more accurate diagnosis quickly.
All participant information will be anonymous and analysed collectively, and we will not feedback any individual results from this study. We need to manage participant records in specific ways for the research to be reliable. This means that we will not be able to let participants see or change the data we hold about them.
We will keep all information about participants safe and secure. All participant data will be anonymous and will be assigned a code number.
