Giancardo et al. recently introduced the neuroQWERTY index (nQi), which is a novel motor index derived from computer-key-hold-time data using an ensemble regression algorithm, to detect early-stage Parkinson's disease. Here, we derive a much simpler motor index from their hold-time data, which is the standard deviation (SD) of the hold-time fluctuations, where fluctuation is defined as the difference between successive natural-log of hold time. Our results show the performance of the SD and nQi tests in discriminating early-stage subjects from controls do not differ, although the SD index is much simpler. There is also no difference in performance between the SD and alternating-finger-tapping tests.
