Applications of deep learning in Alzheimer’s disease: a systematic literature review of current trends, methodologies, challenges, innovations, and future directions

Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) constitutes a significant global health issue. In the next 40 years, it is expected to affect 106 million people. Although more and more people are getting AD, there are still no effective drugs to treat it. Insightful information about how important it is to find and treat AD quickly. Recently, Deep Learning (DL) techniques have been used more and more to diagnose AD. They claim better accuracy in drug reuse, medication recognition, and labeling. This essay meticulously examines the works that have talked about using DL with Alzheimer’s disease. Some of the methods are Natural Language Processing (NLP), drug reuse, classification, and identification. Concerning these methods, we examine their pros and cons, paying special attention to how easily they can be explained, how safe they are, and how they can be used in medical situations. One important finding is that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are most often used for AD research and Python is most often used for DL issues. Some security problems, like data protection and model stability, are not looked at enough in the present research, according to us. This study thoroughly examines present methods and also points out areas that need more work, like better data integration and AI systems that can be explained. The findings should help guide more research and speed up the creation of DL-based AD identification tools in the future.
