Researchers have developed a free online tool to help diagnose dementia and provide targeted treatment faster. 9News
University of Sydney researchers have created an online calculator which is meant to help diagnose what type of primary progressive aphasia, a type of dementia that causes you to lose language skills, someone is suffering.
