USP researchers pair virtual reality and AI to flag early cognitive decline in older adults
Researchers at the University of São Paulo's computing institute in São Carlos are combining virtual reality and artificial intelligence to identify early signs of cognitive decline in older people.
Why it matters: Older people are the group whose early signs of cognitive decline the São Carlos research team aims to identify using virtual reality and AI.
The University of São Paulo (USP) reported that research at its Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (ICMC), in São Carlos, brings together virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
According to the university, the research is designed to identify early indicators of cognitive decline in older people.

If the ICMC approach identifies early signs of cognitive decline as the university describes, older people could have those signs detected at an earlier stage.
