Parkinson’s Disease Detection

Abstract

Abstract: Parkinson’s Disease is a disorder that affects the nervous system. Parkinson’s disease does not directly cause people to die but can make some people more vulnerable to serious and life-threatening infections. This research addresses the limitations of traditional clinical diagnosis by harnessing the potential of advanced data analysis techniques and machine learning algorithms. The project’s primary objectives include dataset compilation, feature extraction, model development, multimodal fusion, model validation, and considerations for clinical applicability. The dataset will encompass a diverse range of participants diagnosed with PD as well as healthy controls, ensuring the representation of various demographic and clinical factors. By extracting distinctive features from voice recordings, handwriting dynamics, and gait patterns, the project aims to capture unique biomarkers associated with PD. Machine learning models, tailored for each modality, will be developed to classify individuals as PD-positive or PD-negative
