AI systems are trained on vast datasets of brain scans and patient data to recognise subtle patterns indicative of dementia, often years before symptoms become obvious. This allows for earlier intervention and treatment, potentially slowing the disease's progression. The £80M investment aims to integrate these tools into NHS diagnostics, cutting waiting times significantly.
