A SYSTEM FOR DETECTING EARLY PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND OTHER NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES AND MOVEMENT DISORDERS

摘要

Disclosed is a novel system (100) and method for determining the presence of movement related disorders such as Parkinson's disease through the use of patient interaction with a data input device (104), from which characteristics indicative of movement related disorders may be determined. The system (100) comprises an input device (104) such as a keyboard, through which a patient can input data through the patients hand (112). The input device (104) is operably connected to a processor (106), memory (108) and output (110). The output (110) producing a result based on the patients keystroke inputs through the patients hand (112). The system uses machine learning, statistical analysis and regression analysis to determine among other things bradykinesia, tremor and Parkinson's disease.
