Social Determinants Influencing the Severity of Dementia on Screening: An Observational Study in the Indian Population

With increased longevity and decreased fertility rate, the percentage of population over 65 years of age is growing in India. Literacy rates, family size, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities are rapidly changing due to the increased migration from rural to urban areas. Data‐driven studies are required to determine the influence of social factors and comorbidities on the distribution of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and neurological care resources. We demonstrate results from a feasibility study that uses state‐of‐the‐art AI, data analytics, and a HIPAA‐compliant Telehealth platform to screen patients over 65 years in India for ADRD.
