And greatly thankful to @Ruhika15 for developing this new AI tool (ViTTL) shared in the platform shared by
@DementiaLeague

[Vishal Acharya @acharya_vis]

Thank you for sharing our work and for featuring it through @DementiaLeague. We truly appreciate the support and the platform to highlight research on accessible, interpretable AI for brain health. 🧠🔬

[The Dementia League @DementiaLeague]

🧠 Early Alzheimer’s detection just got smarter.

Researchers in India just built a new AI tool (ViTTL) that reads brain MRIs and identified Alzheimer’s severity with ~99.89% accuracy — while staying tiny enough to run on low-resource devices.

Even better: it highlights brain regions doctors already trust when considering dementia severity (hippocampus + cortex), making it more interpretable — not an AI network black box.

These types of low-load AI interpretations of biomarkers (e.g., MRI scans) could mean earlier diagnosis, faster treatment decisions, and wider global access.

🌿 CSIR-IHBT: Reducing India’s Import Dependence on Heeng 🇮🇳✨

@CSIR_IHBT, Palampur, has successfully developed agro-technology for asafoetida (heeng) cultivation in the cold deserts of the Indian Himalayas — a major step toward self-reliance and rural prosperity. 🌱

By promoting heeng farming, IHBT is helping reduce imports, boost farmer income, and strengthen the Himalayan bioeconomy.
