PDD-ET: Parkinson’s Disease Detection Using ML Ensemble Techniques and Customized Big Dataset

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder affecting the nerve cells. PD gives rise to various neurological conditions, including gradual reduction in movement speed, tremors, limb stiffness, and alterations in walking patterns. Identifying Parkinson’s disease in its initial phases is crucial to preserving the well-being of those afflicted. However, accurately identifying PD in its early phases is intricate due to the aging population. Therefore, in this paper, we harnessed machine learning-based ensemble methodologies and focused on the premotor stage of PD to create a precise and reliable early-stage PD detection model named PDD-ET. We compiled a tailored, extensive dataset encompassing patient mobility, medication habits, prior medical history, rigidity, gender, and age group. The PDD-ET model amalgamates the outcomes of various ML techniques, resulting in an impressive 97.52% accuracy in early-stage PD detection. Furthermore, the PDD-ET model effectively distinguishes between multiple stages of PD and accurately categorizes the severity levels of patients affected by PD. The evaluation findings demonstrate that the PDD-ET model outperforms the SVR, CNN, Stacked LSTM, LSTM, GRU, Alex Net, [Decision Tree, RF, and SVR], Deep Neural Network, HOG, Quantum ReLU Activator, Improved KNN, Adaptive Boosting, RF, and Deep Learning Model techniques by the approximate margins of 37%, 30%, 20%, 27%, 25%, 18%, 19%, 27%, 25%, 23%, 45%, 40%, 42%, and 16%, respectively.

Early Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis through Hand-Drawn Spiral and Wave Analysis Using Deep Learning Techniques

“…Several research studies have been conducted regarding using artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare [5][6][7][8]. Recently, more and more academic researchers are attempting to use different deep learning algorithms in the classification tasks of detecting Parkinson's [9][10][11][12]. Haller et al [13] presented a system that can help detect PD using magnetic resonance images (MRI) because it is a neurodegenerative disease that probably affects brain regions.…”
