BackgroundParkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis benefits significantly from advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing techniques. This paper explores various approaches for processing hand-drawn Archimedean spirals in order to detect signs of PD.MethodsThe best approach is selected to be integrated in a neurodegenerative disease management platform called NeuroPredict. The most innovative aspects of the presented approaches are related to the employed feature extraction techniques that convert hand-drawn spirals into a frequency spectra, so that frequency features may be extracted and utilized as inputs for various classification algorithms. A second category of extracted features contains information related to the thickness and pressure of drawings.ResultsThe selected approach achieves an overall accuracy of 95.24% and allows acquiring new test data using only a pencil and paper, without requiring a specialized device like a graphic tablet or a digital pen.ConclusionsThis study underscores the clinical relevance of AI in enhancing diagnostic precision for neurodegenerative diseases.
