This study explores the utilization of marker less object tracking combined with machine learning (ML) techniques to analyze drawing patterns in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Motor symptoms, such as tremors and bradykinesia, are prominent features of PD and often help in its identification. Diagnosing PD accurately is crucial yet complex, with error rates in clinical practice. Diagnostic tools, including genetic testing and imaging, help but still have limitations. Drawing tasks, particularly using the Archimedes spiral, have emerged as potential diagnostic tools. Recent advancements in ML, particularly in computer vision techniques like DeepLabCut (DLC), offer new avenues for PD diagnosis. By tracking object positions and analyzing drawing characteristics, ML algorithms can potentially identify patterns indicative of PD. This study aims to leverage DLC and ML algorithms to analyze drawing data from PD patients and healthy individuals. Preliminary findings suggest promising results in classifying PD patients based on drawing patterns.

摘要

This study explores the utilization of marker less object tracking combined with machine learning (ML) techniques to analyze drawing patterns in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Motor symptoms, such as tremors and bradykinesia, are prominent features of PD and often help in its identification. Diagnosing PD accurately is crucial yet complex, with error rates in clinical practice. Diagnostic tools, including genetic testing and imaging, help but still have limitations. Drawing tasks, particularly using the Archimedes spiral, have emerged as potential diagnostic tools. Recent advancements in ML, particularly in computer vision techniques like DeepLabCut (DLC), offer new avenues for PD diagnosis. By tracking object positions and analyzing drawing characteristics, ML algorithms can potentially identify patterns indicative of PD. This study aims to leverage DLC and ML algorithms to analyze drawing data from PD patients and healthy individuals. Preliminary findings suggest promising results in classifying PD patients based on drawing patterns. The implications of this research extend to clinical practice, highlighting the potential of ML and computer vision tools as complementary diagnostics for PD.
