Apparatus for health correlation assessment

An method for performing a probabilistic assessment for one or more Alzheimer's disease related clinical health classifications based upon results of a contrast sensitivity eye examination of a first subject, comprising the steps of:

• obtaining at least a portion of an eye contrast sensitivity test result data for a first subject;
• exercising a first algorithm that is applied to process said at least a portion of contrast sensitivity test result data, said first algorithm configured for determining a set of one or more probabilistic health classifications for said first subject, each said probabilistic health classifications being expressed as a probability of said first subject being appropriately assigned into at least one Alzheimer's disease related clinical health classification, in accordance with a clinical evaluation of said first subject;
• providing information representing said probabilistic health classifications.

An system for performing an probabilistic assessment for one or more Alzheimer's disease related health classifications based upon results of a contrast sensitivity eye examination, comprising:

• a data access component for obtaining at least a portion of a result of a contrast sensitivity test for a first subject;
• a health classification assessment procedure (HCAP) component that exercises a first algorithm that is applied to process at least a portion of a result of said contrast sensitivity test for said first subject, said algorithm determining a set of one or more probabilistic health classifications for said first subject, each said probabilistic health classification being a probability of said first subject being appropriately assigned into at least one Alzheimer's disease related clinical health classification, based upon a clinical evaluation of said first subject;
• an output component that outputs information representing said probabilistic health classification.
