Development of an Alzheimer's Resource Website for Young Students, with Information and Python Functions for Data Manipulation, Machine Learning, and Brain Image Manipulation

Early Onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) is a rare but devastating form of Alzheimer's disease that impacts younger adults, generally 60 years of age or less. It is thought to affect between 220,000 and 640,000 Americans, beginning between age 45 and 64. Most of such cases do not run in families and hence can appear unexpectedly in any adult and impact the family in subtle ways. We set out to create a resource for high school students to understand what the disease is, what are its symptoms, and resources to help their loved ones. Additionally, we have developed a library of Python functions to analyze publicly available data sources, create Machine Learning models, and display and analyze brain images. We hope to continue developing this resource and convert it into a public website.
