The rise of Alzheimers Disease worldwide has prompted a search for efficient tools which can be used to predict deterioration in cognitive decline leading to dementia. In this paper, we explore the potential of survival machine learning as such a tool for building models capable of predicting not only deterioration but also the likely time to deterioration. We demonstrate good predictive ability (0.86 C-Index), lending support to its use in clinical investigation and prediction of Alzheimers Disease risk.
