Celia is an innovative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by the Atlantic company, which is not limited to being a simple conversation assistant; It goes beyond platforms like Alexa or Siri.

This application is distinguished by its ability to detect signs and patterns of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, through voice analysis.

Using biometric tools, Celia can measure and monitor parameters indicative not only of neurological diseases, but also of emotional conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Celia operates through instant messaging platforms and uses advanced natural language processing algorithms to interact with users in simple and natural conversations. As users interact with Celia, the chatbot collects information about their linguistic behavior, memory patterns, and other cognitive factors.

From the options function, you can also include the contacts that will have access to the conversation data and the user, usually caregivers or family members. In addition, they will also be able to access an activity monitoring dashboard that reflects usage metrics, but also other extremely valuable parameters such as:

• Depression Screenings and Mean Depression Score
• Test Anxiety Score and Average Anxiety Score
• Test score of cognitive abilities and Average score of cognitive abilities

All this data will only be available if the user has logged in on the website or in the app, therefore it is not available on WhatsApp.

What sets Celia apart is its ability to detect subtle changes in the user’s language and behavior that could indicate the presence of cognitive problems associated with Alzheimer’s. These changes may include frequent forgetfulness, difficulty finding words or expressing oneself, and disorientation in time or space. By analyzing this data, Celia can identify potential warning signs of Alzheimer's and provide useful feedback to the user, as well as recommend seeking specialized medical care for a more complete diagnosis.

This ability to detect early signs of disease has the potential to facilitate early diagnosis and early initiation of medical and therapeutic interventions.

How can Celia be used?

It is available 24 horus a day on different devices, from phones to tablets, with the possibility of interacting via text or voice messages. Installation is simple, allowing users to access this technological resource quickly and efficiently.

The app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. To interact with Celia through WhatsApp, users can start a conversation or add the number +34655641445 to their contacts.

While more research is still needed to validate Celia’s effectiveness in early detection of Alzheimer's, its potential to improve access to early diagnosis and timely treatment of this disease represents a significant step in the fight against Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
