Summary: There is a great challenge in identifying the early stages of the Alzheimer's disease, which has become the most frequent cause of dementia in the last few years. The aim of this work is to determine which tests, from a battery of tests, are relevant and would detect faster whether the patient is having a normal aging or developing the disease. This will be made applying the method ORCLASS and the Arana\'u Tool, a decision support system mainly structured on the ZAPROS method. The modeling and evaluation processes were conducted based on bibliographic sources and on the information given by a medical expert.
