The Use of Event-Related Potentials and Machine Learning to Improve Diagnostic Testing and Prediction of Disease Progression in Parkinson's Disease

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2021 Dec 15:284:333-335. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210737.

Abstract

Current tests of disease status in Parkinson's disease suffer from high variability, limiting their ability to determine disease severity and prognosis. Event-related potentials, in conjunction with machine learning, may provide a more objective assessment. In this study, we will use event-related potentials to develop machine learning models, aiming to provide an objective way to assess disease status and predict disease progression in Parkinson's disease.

Keywords: Diagnosis; Parkinson disease; disease status; event-related potentials; machine learning; prediction.
