Background
The ParkinsonCheck™ mobile application is used for timely detection and monitoring of Parkinson's disease and some other tremors. It is based on spirography and uses an expert artificial intelligence system for automatic diagnostics. This application is designed to encourage people to see the doctor in the early stages of the disease, as an early diagnosis allows for an early start of available treatments and an improved quality of life.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is currently not curable, however the treatment can ease the symptoms and improve the quality of a patient’s life. The latest research also suggests that starting treatment in the early motoric phase with Levodopa or MAO-B inhibitors can slow down the progress of the disease.
Since PD is a chronic disease, its efficient monitoring is very important. Early detection of PD is also beneficial for continued research into the disease, since its early phase biological markers are currently not well known.
A tremor is one of Parkinson's disease’s main symptoms. Spirography is a technique for quantitative assessment of these tremors. From a spiral drawing, several parameters are calculated and fed into an expert system to differentiate between different types of tremor, and to perform automatic diagnostics. In this way, the application is able to detect not only PD, but also some other types of tremor, such as Essential Tremor.
ParkinsonCheck™ offers a possibility of self-diagnosis. We envision that this will encourage many patients to see the doctor at a much earlier phase of the disease. We also envision the web/mobile application as a cheap tool for diagnostics in primary health centres, for example, as part of routine check-ups.
