AI diagnosis support · Founded 2025

Catch Alzheimer's earlier, from a single MRI scan.

NeuroScan AI is a deep learning system that analyses brain MRI images to detect Alzheimer's disease in its early stages — giving doctors a fast, reliable second opinion when it matters most.

The challenge

Dementia is rising fast. Alzheimer's is behind most of it.

Diagnosing Alzheimer's early is hard, slow and depends on specialist expertise that many patients can't easily reach.

57 million

people were living with dementia worldwide in 2021.

~10 million

new cases of dementia every year.

60–70%

of dementia cases may be caused by Alzheimer's disease.

7th

leading cause of death in the world is dementia.

Why early detection matters

The brain changes before the symptoms are obvious.

Alzheimer's develops gradually. MRI can reveal structural changes in the brain, and spotting them early gives patients and families more time to plan, treat and adapt.

NeuroScan AI is designed to find those signals in routine MRI scans — quickly and consistently.

Early stageSubtle changes appear in brain imaging.

DiagnosisOften confirmed only after symptoms are well established.
ProgressionDaily life and independence are increasingly affected.
How it works

From MRI scan to decision support in four steps.

  1. 1

    Upload the MRI

    A standard brain MRI image is provided by the clinic or hospital.

  2. 2

    Prepare the image

    The scan is formatted for the deep learning model.

  3. 3

    Deep learning analysis

    A CNN built on MobileNet with transfer learning examines the brain image.

  4. 4

    Support the doctor

    A clear result — Alzheimer's or not — helps the clinician decide the next step.

The technology

Powerful accuracy from a lightweight model.

NeuroScan AI combines three ideas from deep learning to deliver high accuracy without heavy hardware.

Convolutional Neural Network

A CNN learns the visual patterns in brain MRI images that distinguish Alzheimer's from healthy scans.

Transfer learning

Starts from a model already pre-trained on general images, then adapts it to brain MRI — learning faster from less data.

MobileNet

An efficient network architecture designed to run with low computational complexity and memory use.

Who it's for

Built to support the people who diagnose.

Neurologists

A fast second opinion on MRI scans during assessment.

Radiologists

Help prioritise scans that show signs of Alzheimer's.

Memory clinics

Support earlier diagnosis and planning for patients and families.

Hospitals

A lightweight tool that runs without expensive computing infrastructure.

Responsible AI

A tool for doctors, not a replacement.

  • Every result is decision support; diagnosis remains with the clinician.
  • The current model performs binary classification: Alzheimer's or not.
  • Research results come from benchmark MRI data; clinical validation in hospitals is the next step.
What's next

Where the research goes from here.

  • Adding more pre-trained models to compare and combine.
  • Expanding the dataset through data augmentation.
  • MRI segmentation to isolate the key features of Alzheimer's.

Frequently asked questions

What does NeuroScan AI do?

It analyses brain MRI images with deep learning to detect signs of Alzheimer's disease early, supporting doctors in their diagnosis.

How accurate is it?

The underlying MobileNet-based model achieved 99.86% accuracy in classifying MRI images, as published in the Journal of Intelligent Systems and Internet of Things (2025).

Does it replace a doctor's diagnosis?

No. NeuroScan AI is a decision-support tool. Diagnosis and treatment decisions always remain with qualified clinicians.

Why use MobileNet?

MobileNet is a lightweight network that keeps computing and memory costs low, which helps reduce overfitting and makes real-time use practical without expensive hardware.

What kind of scans does it use?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of the brain — a standard imaging test already used in Alzheimer's assessment.
