Brain atrophy on MRI of Dementia patient
As dementia cases rise, UF researchers develop a breakthrough AI tool to improve diagnosis accuracy
University of Florida researchers have developed an AI-powered tool that can distinguish between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies with near-perfect accuracy. Called Automated Imaging Differentiation for Dementia (AIDD), the technology combines advanced MRI scans with artificial intelligence to detect subtle brain changes linked to each condition. Because the two diseases are often misdiagnosed and require different treatments, accurate identification is critical for patient care. Researchers believe the tool could help clinicians make earlier, more precise diagnoses and improve outcomes as dementia rates continue to rise worldwide.

Honoring the Life & Legacy of JeeWon Cheong, Ph.D.
The University of Florida College of Health & Human Performance is mourning the loss of JeeWon Cheong, Ph.D., a respected researcher, educator and mentor in the Department of Health Education & Behavior. Known for her expertise in quantitative social psychology and behavioral research methods, Cheong dedicated her career to studying substance use, health disparities and prevention science among vulnerable populations. Her work shaped major federally funded research initiatives and influenced countless students and collaborators. Colleagues remember her not only for her scholarly contributions, but also for her generosity, integrity and lasting impact on the UF research community.
