| contents | Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, primarily affecting the elderly population and leading to significant cognitive decline. This decline manifests in various mental faculties such as attention, memory, and higher-order cognitive functions, severely impacting an individual's ability to comprehend information, acquire new knowledge, and communicate effectively. One of the tasks influenced by cognitive impairments is handwriting. By analyzing specific features of handwriting, including pressure, velocity, and spatial organization, researchers can detect subtle changes that may indicate early-stage cognitive impairments, particularly AD. Recent developments in classical artificial intelligence (AI) methods have shown promise in detecting AD through handwriting analysis. However, as the dataset size increases, these AI approaches demand greater computational resources, and diagnoses are often affected by limited classical vector spaces and feature correlations. Recent studies have shown that quantum computing technologies, developed by harnessing the unique properties of quantum particles such as superposition and entanglement, can not only address the aforementioned problems but also accelerate complex data analysis and enable more efficient processing of large datasets. In this study, we propose a variational quantum classifier with fewer circuit elements to facilitate early AD diagnosis based on handwriting data. Our model has demonstrated comparable classification performance to classical methods and underscores the potential of quantum computing models in addressing cognitive problems, paving the way for future research in this domain. |
