A software tool has been developed to support the objective diagnosis of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Patients completed hand exercises using a personal computer mouse and data has been gathered for further studies. We have analyzed different parameters and suggest using a particular parameter vector containing median and standard deviation values for tracking the daily changes in PD patients' status. Using the classification abilities of self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) we were able to provide support for the diagnostic process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
