Professor Rayaz Malik at Weill Cornell Medicine–Qatar has developed a 2–3 minute eye scan that uses AI to analyse nerve fibres. It can detect dementia at least three years before symptoms and diabetic neuropathy up to five years earlier, allowing early intervention. The scan examines nerve fibers in the eye to identify changes associated with these conditions.
Early detection may support medical teams in beginning treatment before symptoms become noticeable. Further testing and validation would be required before the method could be used in routine clinical practice.
