AI estimates Parkinson's turning angles from home videos

Researchers have developed a deep learning approach to estimate turning angles for Parkinson's disease (PD) severity assessment using single monocular camera videos. The method extracts 3D skeletons from videos, calculates hip and knee joint rotations, and achieves a turning calculation accuracy of 41.6% with a Mean Absolute Error of 34.7° on a dataset of free-living home videos. This work is the first to quantify PD patient turns in a home setting, aiming to provide more sensitive indicators of disease progression than traditional clinic-based assessments. AI

IMPACT Enables continuous, passive monitoring of Parkinson's disease progression in home environments, potentially leading to more personalized treatment and faster symptom detection.

    Your Turn: At Home Turning Angle Estimation for Parkinson's Disease Severity Assessment

    arXiv:2408.08182v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) often experience progressively worsening gait, including changes in how they turn around, as the disease progresses. Existing clinical rating tools are not capable of capturing hour-by-…
