It diagnostics of parkinson's disease based on voice markers and decreased motor activity

Abstract

The objectives of the article to propose the method for complex recognition of Parkinson's disease using machine learning, based on markers of voice analysis and changes in patient movements on known data sets. The time-frequency function, (the wavelet function) and the Meyer kepstral coefficient function are used. The KNN algorithm and the algorithm of a two-layer neural network were used for training and testing on publicly available datasets on speech changes and motion retardation in Parkinson's disease. A Bayesian optimizer was also used to improve the hyperparameters of the KNN algorithm. The constructed models achieved an accuracy of 94.7 % and 96.2 % on a data set on speech changes in patients with Parkinson's disease and a data set on slowing down the movement of patients, respectively. The recognition results are close to the world level. The proposed technique is intended for use in the subsystem of IT diagnostics of nervous diseases.
