Time: 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET / 12:00 - 1:00 pm PT 

About this Webinar:

This webinar will present progress to date and future plans for the development and validation of the voice Clinical Dementia Rating (vCDR). The vCDR is a novel, self-administered and automatically scored version of the Clinical Dementia Rating® (CDR®), utilizing an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered conversational agent.

The speakers will describe the development of the vCDR over the past year, including the use of Large Language Models to adapt the tool into an AI agent capable of conducting CDR interviews with study partners and participants. They will also discuss their approach to internal testing and iterative optimization, automatic scoring strategies, plans for remote pilot testing and in-clinic validation, and future directions for project expansion.
