Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) an ailment that is supposed to affect people in old age. There are evidences that it might affect others also. The number of elders is increasing as the average life expectancy is increasing. AD afflicts its patients with the dementia and AD might increase in malignance over time. People with cognitive disabilities can be overwhelmed through cognitive prosthetics. With the help of information technology we can enhance the quality of life. Significant achievements are possible with an interdisciplinary approach that includes genomic, genetic, technological and therapeutic measures. The combination and coordination of Bioinformatics facilitates generation of various diagnostic tools for the people who are suffering from Alzheimer's disease. These tools help the care providers also. In this article, we emphasize the literature regarding the use of technology and its methodologies to improve the quality of care for the people with Alzheimer's disease.

Highlights

  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) was first discovered in 1907 by German neurologist Alois Alzheimer. [1] Alzheimer's disease becomes one of the major hurdles for further survival of elders thereby a many number of people may suffer from AD in the few decades

  • AD afflicts its patients with the dementia and AD might increase in malignance over time

  • A substantial number of the IMI patients reflected regional Alzheimer's disease on chromosome 14 reported that the hypometabolism similar to AD, suggesting that IMI is frequency of the ACT*A allele was significantly higher in likely an early stage in progressive dementia

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease (AD) was first discovered in 1907 by German neurologist Alois Alzheimer. [1] Alzheimer's disease becomes one of the major hurdles for further survival of elders thereby a many number of people may suffer from AD in the few decades. Alzheimer's disease care and management: Role of information technology [6, 7, 8] In addition, the E4 allele of the could provide AD patients with the kinds of information apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene is a risk factor for AD.
