Purpose and goal
Motor symptoms is common in Parkinson´s patients. The project has developed a multimodal platform consisting of motion sensors, eyetracker, ability via app to answer questions about disease states and to make a spiral and tap test with a finger on a smartphone´s touchscreen. Platform that has learned from medical data derived from two medical studies in the project has resulted in a system capable of estimating motor symptoms and to give a dosage interval in parity with experienced physicians in 68% of cases.
Expected results and effects
One of the main purposes of the project MUSYQ is to objectively describe the symptoms in patients with Parkinson´s disease. The project has resulted in a system capable of estimating a dosage interval of the treating medicine that is in parity with experienced physicians, in 68% of cases. A great success given the size of the project.
Planned approach and implementation
WP1 - a medical study that has exceeded expectations. We now have a large data base that also can be used in many future projects. WP2 - a workflow for data analysis and signal processing. Most of the tasks in this package have been published and well advanced in the project. WP3 - medical study to test the methods developed in the project. It turned out that 68% of the patients studied were given dosage intervals of the system that were in par with experienced physicians. WP4 - Business Strategy - A patent has been written and will be sent soon.
