A review of machine learning and deep learning algorithms for Parkinson's disease detection using handwriting and voice datasets

Abstract

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder with significant clinical implications. Early and accurate diagnosis of PD is crucial for timely intervention and personalized treatment. In recent years, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques have emerged as promis-ing tools for improving PD diagnosis. This review paper presents a detailed analysis of the current state of ML and DL-based PD diagnosis, focusing on voice, handwriting, and wave spiral datasets. The study also evaluates the effectiveness of various ML and DL algorithms, including classifiers, on these datasets and highlights their potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and aiding clinical decision-making. Additionally, the paper explores the identifi-cation of biomarkers using these techniques, offering insights into improving the diagnostic process. The discussion encompasses different data formats and commonly employed ML and DL methods in PD diagnosis, providing a comprehensive overview of the field. This review serves as a roadmap for future research, guiding the development of ML and DL-based tools for PD detection. It is expected to benefit both the scientific community and medical practitioners by advancing our understanding of PD diagnosis and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
