Big Data Advancing Parkinson’s Research
Big data advancing the way Parkinson’s disease is detected www.i-prognosis.eu This year again, the i-PROGNOSIS project takes part in the Parkinson’s Awareness Month to raise awareness of the possibilities brought by new technologies to earlier detect the disease. Released last year in Germany, Greece, Portugal, and the UK, the iPrognosis mobile application (available for free on the Google Play Store) allows for large-scale data collection (Gdata study) fostering the development of machine learning algorithms able to detect behavioral changes relating to Parkinson’s disease (PD). A year later, the i-PROGNOSIS partners are starting the medical evaluation of the first version of these algorithms to hopefully provide preliminary evidence of the i-PROGNOSIS proof of concept. The i-PROGNOSIS research and innovation project is building on the legacy of breakthrough research in artificial intelligence by leveraging the…
