Building the future of Alzheimer’s disease: an AI-driven metaverse from early diagnosis to personalized intervention

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as a major global public health crisis, faces multiple challenges including difficulties in early diagnosis, limited therapeutic options, and heavy caregiving burdens. The deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and metaverse technologies offers innovative solutions for comprehensive AD management. Immersive environments combined with AI analytics enable early screening and risk stratification; digital twins and adaptive algorithms facilitate personalized digital interventions that may slow disease progression; while immersive simulation training provides efficient support for caregivers and healthcare professionals, enhancing care quality and decision-making capacity. The AI-driven metaverse will reshape AD diagnosis, treatment, and caregiving systems, opening new pathways to overcome current obstacles.
