KIMM Researchers developed a new Smart Lens tech to detect Alzheimer's early. South Korean researchers have developed a new "Smart Lens" technology that centers on neuroscience, particularly in detecting Alzheimer's disease at an early stage.

Alzheimer’s disease affects over 50 million people throughout the world. This new research may be able to detect it early.

As is the case with so many other things, the sooner that Alzheimer's disease is detected, the more that can be done to slow its progress. An experimental implantable lens could help, by changing in appearance at the early stages of the illness.

A smart intraocular lens that can be inserted into the eye to diagnose Alzheimers has been developed for the first time in Korea.

Korean scientists have been able to develop a lens that can be inserted into the eye to detect early signs of dementia.
