Innovative Earpiece Tech Aims to Detect Early Alzheimer's

Researchers explore using hearable devices to monitor eye movement signals for early signs of Alzheimer's disease.

The new approach focuses on detecting saccades, rapid eye movements that slow down in Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers from École de Technologie Supérieure and Dartmouth University are leading the study.
Hearables equipped with sensitive microphones can capture eardrum vibrations caused by eye movements.
This technology offers a noninvasive, cost-effective alternative to traditional eye-tracking equipment.
The study could pave the way for continuous monitoring of Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders.
