ABSTRACT
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a specific type of irreversible dementia which again deteriorates the mental health of a person hence majorly hinder the way of life of an affected person. The purpose of this article is to focus on a brief introduction of Alzheimer's along with its life cycle. This article shows torch towards widely known as well as novel symptoms of Alzheimer's in addition to probable key causes of it. Moreover, the article catalogs computer science applications and technologies that can aid in either detecting or assisting a person suffering from Alzheimer's, which will further help computer science students to help understand Alzheimer's and build more such aids.
