Abstract
Large-scale population screening and in-home monitoring for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) has so far been mainly carried out by traditional healthcare methods and systems. Development of mobile health may provide an independent, future method to detect PD. Current PD detection algorithms will benefit from better generalizability with data collected in real-world situations. In this paper, we report the top-performing smartphone-based method in the recent DREAM Parkinson's Disease Digital Biomarker Challenge for digital diagnosis of PD. Utilizing real-world accelerometer records, this approach differentiated PD from control subjects with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.87 by 3D augmentation of accelerometer records, a significant improvement over other state-of-the-art methods. This study paves the way for future at-home screening of PD and other neurodegenerative conditions affecting movement.
