Automated evaluation of Parkinson's Disease severity

Our tool utilizes criteria defined in the MDR-UPDRS Part III motor examination, ensuring our results are consistent with clinical standards.

About

Our tool evaluates Parkinson's Disease severity based on three motor tasks: finger tapping, hand movements, and pronation-supination. Each task is scored between 0-4 based on criteria from the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), enabling patients to complete their assessment from home.

Disclaimer: This tool is not meant to diagnose Parkinson's Disease. It is designed to evaluate motor severity in patients with a confirmed diagnosis.

How it works
The patient is recorded via webcam performing the three motor tasks: finger tapping, hand movements, and pronation-supination. Our tool guides the patient through each task for both hands (resulting in six individual assessments), and provides a summary of results at the conclusion of the exam.

Note: Recordings taken during the examination are not retained beyond the assessment. Once results are generated, all recordings are permanently deleted.
