ENGLISH WITH NEWS
AI Tool Predicts Parkinson’s Disease Years in Advance
This week, we highlight a groundbreaking development in healthcare: the use of AI to predict the onset of Parkinson’s disease. A team of researchers has developed an AI model that analyzes subtle changes in speech patterns to detect early signs of the disease, potentially years before symptoms fully manifest. This could lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options for those at risk.
Key Words:
AI (Artificial Intelligence) (n.) - The simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn.
Example: AI is increasingly being used in healthcare to detect diseases early.
Onset (n.) - The beginning of something, typically something unpleasant.
Example: The AI can detect the onset of Parkinson's disease before symptoms become visible.
Speech Patterns (n.) - The distinctive way in which someone speaks, including tone, rhythm, and pronunciation.
Example: The AI model identifies changes in speech patterns that might indicate neurological diseases.
This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, offering earlier interventions and improving patient outcomes. (The Guardian)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Learning English is a personal journey, where the unique inflections of your voice, the heritage of your accent, and the individuality of your expression are invaluable. While it's important to understand grammar rules and structures, integrating them with your identity is what truly brings the language to life.
