From an Alzeimer's Diagnosis to a Solution

Abstract

Meet Mrs. Rodriguez, a 72 year-old retired school teacher, now living by herself, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). AD represents the cause of 60% to 80% of Dementias [7], a broad term that encompasses conditions describing symptoms associated with progressive deterioration of cognitive activity, and of which the prevalence increases over the age of 65 years old [12] [7].
