Article • Promising technology for early detection

Phonebots listen out for Alzheimer’s

Dementia is one of Europe’s most pressing health and societal challenges, and early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is becoming more important as new treatments emerge. At the joint annual congress of the German Society for Geriatrics (DGG) and the German Society for Gerontology and Geriatrics (DGGG) in Frankfurt am Main in September, Dr Stefanie Köhler presented “Mili”, an automated speech-based phonebot designed to support the early detection of AD. Her findings show that the technology is usable, but that meaningful consent, privacy, fairness and human support must remain central to its use.
