Description
Gabrielle Chavez and co-authors test whether hand-drawn spirals can flag early memory disease in a 2025 study. Past work links motor trouble to the disease, which affects thought and memory. Adults with the disease and healthy peers drew spirals on a tablet with a pen, in three ways.
The team timed each draw and gauged loop speed and rhythm from the strokes. To the eye, spirals from both groups looked much the same, yet the timed traits split them clearly. Adults with the disease drew more slowly, with lower loop speed, which backs timed drawing as a soft test.
