Dementia is a symptom of many neurodegenerative disorders that have a heavy economic burden. In this research, we are building a diagnostic model utilizing a big data approach to analyze clinical records of demographics, diagnoses, vital signs, and other clinical information. We used a large database from one hospital in which thousands of patients were admitted over a span of a decade. We extracted multiple variables which would be relevant for diagnosing patients with dementia and analyzed them through machine learning models.
