Abstract: Dementia is a growing health concern, and in many cases, it is diagnosed only after significant cognitive decline has occurred. Early symptoms are often subtle and easily overlooked, leading to delayed medical intervention. This project introduces an AI-based tool designed to detect early signs of dementia using simple cognitive assessments. The system focuses on speech analysis, memory tasks, and cognitive exercises that can be completed-through application. By providing an easy and accessible screening method, the tool helps identify potential risks at an early stage. The application uses artificial intelligence to analyze user responses and detect patterns associated with cognitive decline. It evaluates speech fluency, memory recall accuracy, and cognitive task performance to generate an AI-based risk score. The system supports multiple Indian languages, ensuring accessibility for a wider population. Secure user authentication and structured workflows maintain data accuracy and privacy. Test results are stored in a centralized system, allowing users and caregivers to track performance over time. By replacing manual observation with objective, data-driven analysis, this AI tool improves the efficiency and reliability of early dementia screening.
