Georgia Tech and Emory researchers have developed a new variant of the test for early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, using a gadget that looks a lot like the bad Nintendo Virtual Boy-fatal.

The device, which consists of an LCD display, trip computer, headphones, and a controller (which can be a PS2 from the looks of it), given a ten-minute test for telltale signs of mild cognitive impairment. The main advantage is the system detects that it is about 9 times faster than an equivalent pen and paper test.

The researchers, who have formed Zenda Technologies to market her work, I could do the test to detect most widely used test methods Alzheimer others. Initial clinical trial evidence showed that 100 patients had similar accuracy to the current test of ninety minutes.

Why would you want to know? Because there are some treatments for Alzheimer’s disease now, but only slow the disease, and nothing has been proven to reverse its course, despite some recent high-profile ads.

The new device will not be alone in the high-tech test for Alzheimer’s category. As reported in 2006, Lee Goldstein, a Harvard researcher, created a visual examination of Alzheimer’s disease, although it is far beyond the clinical use of the screening test.
