Eisai working on wristband sensor for brain amyloid

Eisai has joined forces with Oita University in Japan to develop a machine-learning tool that may be able to predict whether someone is at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease using a wrist-worn sensor.

The device is designed to predict the accumulation in the brain of amyloid beta, which aggregates to form distinctive plaques in the brains of people who develop Alzheimer’s and some other forms of dementia.
