Parkinson's disease

Has machine learning over-promised in healthcare?: A critical analysis and a proposal for improved evaluation, with evidence from Parkinson’s disease

Adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by the medical community has long been anticipated, endorsed by a stream of [machine learning](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/machine-learning) literature showcasing AI systems that …

Evaluating Effects of Resting-State Electroencephalography Data Pre-Processing on a Machine Learning Task for Parkinson’s Disease

Resting-state electroencephalography (RSEEG) is a method under consideration as a potential biomarker that could support early and accurate diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). RSEEG data is often contaminated by signals arising from other …

Finger tapping measures for Parkinson’s disease: Preliminary evaluation of an Android application for data collection in Australia

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive chronic disorder with a high misdiagnosis rate. Because finger-tapping tasks correlate with its fine-motor symptoms, they could be used to help diagnose and assess PD. We first designed and developed an …

The use of event-related potentials and machine learning to improve diagnostic testing and prediction of disease progression in Parkinson's disease

Current tests of disease status in Parkinson's disease suffer from high variability, limiting their ability to determine disease severity and prognosis. Event-related potentials, in conjunction with machine learning, may provide a more objective …

Which features of postural sway are effective in distinguishing Parkinson's disease from controls? An experimental investigation

Computer-assisted quantification and analysis of postural sway may support identifying individuals affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). Balancing, and its associated postural sway, is a complex process that requires the cooperation of several …

Postural sway correlates with cognition and quality of life in Parkinson’s disease

We measured postural sway in individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and age-matched controls. Individuals with Parkinson's swayed more, as expected, especially when their eyes were closed. In the people with Parkinson's, sway correlated strongly with cognitive measures, as well as with measures of quality of life and clinical status.

Which features of postural sway are effective in distinguishing Parkinson's disease from controls? A systematic review

Background: Postural sway may be useful as an objective measure of Parkinson's disease (PD). Existing studies have analyzed many different features of sway using different experimental paradigms. We aimed to determine what features have been used to …
