New research provides a way of delivering personalized treatments to patients with neurological disease.</p> Mon, 09 Jul 2018 17:06:10 +0000 timothy.ellis@mail.mcgill.ca 3116 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/ai-analyzed-blood-test-can-predict-progression-neurodegenerative-disease-317675 <p><strong>New technique could be used to choose best therapies for patients and measure their effectiveness</strong></p> <p>Evaluating the effectiveness of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is often difficult because each patient’s progression is different. A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.</p> Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:21:14 +0000 zeny.gatdula@mail.mcgill.ca 4301 at /neuro /neuro/article/i-choose-neuro-stories-research-stories/yasser-iturria-medina-ichoosetheneuro Yasser Iturria-Medina's focus is combining different sources of information about the brain to explain how the brain works and how to control the progression of neurological disorders.
