Abstract

Dementia currently affects 50 million people globally. We present a non-medical Analytics method, including a ‘Decision Map’ and ‘Mind Map’, to help predict if one is vulnerable to developing Dementia / Alzheimer’s disease. The colours you see in yourself can reveal if you have begun an aging process. Is your soul becoming disinterested in giving to community? Is your spirit disengaging from making a contribution? Is your mind becoming distracted, from bringing your capability to others, as in Dementia? Or is your body’s Alzheimer’s Disease taking down your functioning capacity?
