AI Algorithm May Help Monitor Parkinson’s Severity Remotely, Study Suggests

Estimating the severity of Parkinson’s disease may be possible by remotely measuring and analyzing physical activity as patients’ motor impairment increases, research led by scientists at IBM Research suggests. The method uses an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that examines movement data sent from wrist-worn accelerometers. It can be…

Parkinson’s Disease Digital Biomarker DREAM Challenge Winners Announced

The winners of a crowd-sourced research challenge designed to improve the ability of remote sensors to monitor Parkinson’s disease (PD) used a mix of signal processing and deep neural networks to better predict disease and disease severity. Sage Bionetworks, in collaboration with the…
