Abstract
Early and accurate detection of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is critical for effective intervention, a task where traditional methods often fall short. This paper presents a multimodal deep learning framework to address this diagnostic challenge. A hybrid model combining a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to extract spatial features from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to analyze temporal patterns from cognitive assessment data. By fusing these features, the model achieves a more robust classification. Trained on a public dataset, the system classifies AD into four stages (Normal, Mild, Moderate, and Severe) with a validation accuracy of 0.99, demonstrating high precision and recall. This work highlights the potential of hybrid AI models as a powerful diagnostic support tool for clinicians, significantly improving early AD detection.
