CNN-Based Identification of Parkinson's Disease from Continuous Speech in Noisy Environments.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by dopaminergic neuron degeneration. Parkinsonian speech impairment is one of the earliest presentations of the disease and, along with tremor, is suitable for pre-diagnosis. It is defined by hypokinetic dysarthria and accounts for respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, and prosodic manifestations.

Proof of Concept in Artificial-Intelligence-Based Wearable Gait Monitoring for Parkinson's Disease Management Optimization.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 6.2 million patients and causing disability and decreased quality of life. The research is oriented nowadays toward artificial intelligence (AI)-based wearables for early diagnosis and long-term PD monitoring.
