Using virtual reality to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease | BBC News | Only Sports And Health



Scientists are testing the possibility of using virtual reality (VR) to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.

Pen and paper tests date back to the 1940s and are still one of the markers that may be used for diagnosis today.

With no single definitive way to confirm the disease, a combination of different tests and investigations are usually carried out by health professionals.

Researchers, at University College London, are testing if VR can help confirm an early diagnosis of the disease before it reaches the severe stages of dementia.

  1. BBC NEWS …..WE THE PEOPLE FROM POLAND ASK YOU ….Gdzie jest ta solidarity SOLIDARNOŚĆ mit Polen when free speach is taken over by Mr Tusk tzn. ZABRANA by Mr Tusk? Best greetings and regards

  2. Donate to whom?

    Like animals' instincts, we can't create our own thoughts, all Good thoughts are from God, all bad thoughts are from bad men.

    Regardless your background/ideology/belief/religion/party/country/culture, all your selfless serving/loving/treating others as yourself thoughts & deeds are from God, all your  selfish/jealous/bully/rob/colonize/sacrifice others for yourself/become #1 thoughts are from bad men..

    Regardless u are a communist or a capitalist, if u die to save other's lives, then u are Jesus=God's kid, if u destroy others for yourself, then u are Devil's kid & u are absolutely NOT God's kid.

    We should donate to Jesus=>use money/medals/advertisements to glorify Jesus-like people&deeds: as long as we are not glorifying ourselves then God will like it. If Jesus-like spirit & deeds can be recognized & praised, then more Jesus will emerge: Jesus did nothing but gave free healings & resurrections to disabled/sick/dead people, & sacrificed his own life for others. If all become Jesus then there will be no poverty & matches selling little girl filled miserable world but pleasure & peace filled paradise.

    It is very strange that western media never praise/promote Jesus like good deeds & good people, but always advertise & promote selfish narcissistic self-made Judas/billionaires/stars/dissidents/war-lords/etc.

    Like hospitals, US charities only treat symptoms not root causes & trapped in a self defeating loop: Charities are encouraging u become rich so u have money to give to the poor who are produced by the rich=>Charities are serving Devil by promoting money lovers.

    This is God's self-fulfilling cycle: Trees with lots sweet fruits attract lots animals, who eat & poop/fertilize the tree & spread their seeds all over the world, fruitless or poisonous fruiting trees have no animals' visits, so no fertilizers & no spreads of their seeds thus they die & vanish forever=>so we should be like birds singing praises for & fund Jesus like good men & deeds, our donations to good men are birds' poop fertilizers. Communists always greatly promote Jesus like good man & oppress self-promoting hypocrites=warn men of bright poisonous holly trees, but West is doing the opposite=>Communists are doing everything right but West is doing everything wrong.

    We should donate to the families of those who died in saving others in natural disasters&pandemics/Prestigious university graduates who work as teachers/party secretaries/leaders in remote villages.

    Poverty is just a symptom, can be caused by many reasons, if due to arrogance/lazy/addictions, giving them money is making them worse.

    I am sure everyone can learn Chinese medicine by watching this free fun TV:

    善言天者,必有验于人;善言古者,必有合于今;善言人者,必有厌于己.

    Learn from God&history&others to benefit u & your people.

    Because Chinese are good at humbly seeking God & learning from God & history & others, so God gave Chinese language & culture&medicine&civilization as gifts.

These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear, and blessed is he who understands.)

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

  4. Food is by fare the most deadly contributor. Processed food! High amounts of sugar, starch, conservatives and seed oils. It’s a disaster for the metabolism.
    It causes high blood sugar and spikes your insulin levels – and because Alzheimer is type 3 diabetes, this combo is deadly.

  5. It's exciting that we can predict the chances of dementia before symptoms occur using virtual reality. Kudos to the team at the University of London behind this breakthrough.
