A method is to be implemented by a computing device that stores a risk assessment model, and includes steps of: obtaining an entry of target physiological data and target magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of a brain of a subject with mild cognition impairment (MCI); obtaining, based on the target MRI images, voxel values respectively of primitive voxels that are related to grey matter of the brain of the subject; selecting, from among the primitive voxels, any primitive voxel satisfying a filtering criterion as a selected voxel; calculating an average of the voxel value(s) respectively of the selected voxel(s) to obtain an average target voxel value; and obtaining a probability of the subject developing Alzheimer's disease within a predetermined time period by feeding the average target voxel value and the entry of target physiological data into the risk assessment model.
