A team of six high school students has emerged as a new force in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease through their startup, Reteena. Founded by an 18-year-old in Seoul, the group aims to improve the accessibility and affordability of Alzheimer’s diagnostics. Their journey began with a shared ambition to make a meaningful impact after personal experiences with the disease shaped their perspectives.
The team, which includes members from California, Florida, and Michigan, formed through online platforms, where they pitched ideas and collaborated on research. After a month of outreach, they successfully recruited members who brought diverse skills and insights to the project. Their collaborative efforts focus on enhancing image resolution techniques related to Alzheimer’s diagnostics.
Initially, the founder sought to build a network to address the challenges of the disease, which he viewed as a daunting reality. This initiative is not only about technology but also reflects a collective desire to tackle a condition that deeply affects families globally.
