This week, a new way to detect alzheimers lara visits the Virtual Reality world, helping in the early diagnosis of dementia. Oh, im quite close. Yeah, well. Well, relatively close.

The Royal Institution of great britain. For the past two centuries, this independent charity has sought to connect as many people as possible with the wonders of science. Famed for its christmas lectures, which are aired by the bbc, the Royal Institutions iconic theatre is a place where leading scientists regularly share their work with live audiences. One area of Scientific Research which affects us all is in the diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses. Now, the great thing is science has helped us live longer, but the flip side of that is that we are now discovering illnesses which mainly only occur in old age. Yeah. Many of us have watched the decline of loved ones with dementia, and whilst theres no cure, there are treatments to help manage the symptoms. Its really important to diagnose it early, though, and technology is helping to play its part in that. Since the 1940s, gps have been Testing Memory with pen and paper. And the results of that test are confirmed by a lumbar pu
I think might be as close as i am. Well, i dont know how i did, but it seemed rather challenging and ive done a lot of vr before, so im used to Walking Around in one of these headsets. I wonder how it would be for someone doing it for the first time for this purpose. Maybe itd be thoroughly immersive so it would do the job well, or maybe it would be a bit distracting and make them feel a bit nervous. I dont know. The test doesnt discriminate based on language or culture. Navigation is something that we all do. We think that this is therefore a test that works across different cultures, regardless of education, language, demographics. But we havent tested those diverse populations who historically have always been slightly disenfranchised by standard testing and say, well, actually, we can do it, we can apply this one and identify in you too. Weve seen a Turning Point in alzheimers detection recently. Researchers have developed a blood test that could uncover the disease long before sym
