ADDI Alzheimer's Detection Challenge on AIcrowd

By  vrv

More than 40 million people around the world suffer from Dementia or Alzheimer's. The fight against Alzheimer's is long and challenging. Today, we are proud to partner with ADDI and join this fight.

Our AIcrowd Community will help solve a key component in the fight against Alzheimer's - Detecting early onset of Alzheimer's in patients.

And, the prizes for this challenge are just incredible! 
🤩

  • 💰 $50,000 cash prize pool
  • 🎮 5 Sony PS5's
  • 🎮 Xbox Series X
  • 🚁 5 DJI Mavic Drones
  • 🥽 Oculus VR Headsets!


🤔 So, what is the challenge about?

In this challenge, you are given results of multiple Clock Drawing Tests and you have to perform a 3-class classification task and determine which state the patient might be in: 

1)    Pre-Alzheimer’s (Early Warning)
2)    Post-Alzheimer’s (Detection)
3)    Normal (Not an Alzheimer’s patient)


😅 And, what is a Clock Drawing Test?
Patients are given a piece of paper and they are asked to draw an analog clock face on it with a specific time, like ‘ten minutes past 11 o’clock.’

This single exercise may be sensitive to dementia because it involves many cognitive areas that can be affected by dementia, including executive function, visuospatial abilities, motor programming, attention, and concentration.

Generally, analyses of these drawings can be subjective. An automated solution to capture these clock elements will be of significant value for the community!

This challenge features some amazing prizes for top participants and contributor to the challenge.

💰 Top 4 participants on the leaderboard will receive cash prizes from a prize pool of $50,000, the 1st participant/team on the leaderboard bagging $20,000!

But it doesn't end there 😄 If you have been looking to get your hands on the elusive PS5 or XBOX Series X, read on 👇

💪 Next 6 participants on the leaderboard will be receiving 2 x Sony PS5, 2 x DJI Mavic Mini 2, 2 x Oculus Quest 2

✨ And Top Community Contributors will be receiving 1 x Sony PS5, 1 x Xbox Series X, 3 x DJI Mavic Mini 2, 3 x Oculus Quest 2

 

⏰ The competition ends on 8th June 2021.

So, what are you waiting for?
