Abstract
Alzheimer's is a part of dementia. The disease is a neurological condition that affects the patient's brain. It
compresses the brain causing brain cells to become damaged. The patient loses memory and cannot
remember anything. Although this disease can happen to anyone. But the disease is more prevalent
among the elderly. It cannot be completely cured. According to the WHO, a re-port was published in
Bangladesh in 2020 that a total of 14993 people or 2.09% died due to Alzheimer & Dementia. The death
rate from those diseases are 13.89 people per 100,000 [1]. Our main focus in the paper is to use machine
learning algorithm for detecting Alzheimer disease in its primitive stage. After the experiment we got the
accuracy of our proposed model using K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm is 96% compared to other existing
techniques.
