Cloud-Based Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis Using Machine Learning

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) harms the human brain's nervous system and can affect the patient's life. However, the diagnosis of PD diagnosis in the first stages can lead to early treatment and save costs. In this paper, a cloud-based machine learning diagnosing intelligent system is proposed for the PD with respect to patient voice. The proposed system is composed of two stages. In the first stage, two machine learning approaches, Random-Forest (RF) and Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) are applied to generate a model that can be used for early treatment of PD. In this stage, a feature selection method is used to choose the minimum subset of the best features, which can be utilized later to generate the classification model. In the second stage, the best diagnosis model is deployed in cloud computing. In this stage, an Android application is also designed to provide the interface to the diagnosis model. The performance evaluation of the diagnosis model is conducted based on the F-score accuracy measurement. The result shows that the LTSM model has superior accuracy with 95% of the F-score compared with the RF model. Therefore, the LSTM model is selected for implementing a cloud-based PD diagnosing application using Python and Java.
