There are many active research projects accessing and applying shared ADNI data. Use the search above to find specific research focuses on the active ADNI investigations. This information is requested annually as a requirement for data access.

| Proposed Analysis: | As a researcher, there are a lot of important reasons for me to be able to analyze the ADNI data. Specifically for developing an A.I./Machine Learning model that aids in the image data processing. I am currently enrolled in an A.I./Machine Learning course that involves a systematic literature review for which my topic was chosen to be A.I. in the field of dementia including Alzheimer's disease, as well as the instructor (Gongbo Liang Ph.D.) asking if anyone was interested in doing some research that he is currently performing. The following list is just a few reasons why I am directly interested in this data as a researcher: 1. Studying disease progression: ADNI collects data from participants at different stages of Alzheimer's disease, from normal cognition to MCI and AD. I hope to use this data to study the natural progression of the disease, including changes in brain structure, cognitive function, and biomarker profiles over time. 2. Developing predictive models: By leveraging the rich and diverse dataset of ADNI, I hope to help develop predictive models to estimate the risk of progression from normal cognition to MCI or AD, which can be useful for early intervention and patient care planning. 3. Collaborative research and data sharing: ADNI encourages collaboration among researchers by providing open access to its data. By analyzing ADNI data, I hope to contribute to the collective knowledge about Alzheimer's disease and collaborate with other scientists to advance the field. 4. Exploring risk factors and genetics: ADNI collects data on participants' genetics, lifestyle, and medical history. I can use this information to explore genetic risk factors for AD and investigate how lifestyle and environmental factors may contribute to the development of the disease. Beyond the factors listed above, my wife is a CNA and is the current director of activities for memory care residents at the Franklin Park Senior Living facility in Boerne Texas and has given me the opportunity to be a part of the residents activities. I hope to use this research opportunity to possibly help some of the family members and residents of the facility deal with the progression of AD and Dementia. |
