Voice Analysis for Diagnosis and Monitoring Parkinson’s Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Techniques for Assessment of Parkinsonism for Diagnosis and Rehabilitation

Part of the book series: Series in BioEngineering ((SERBIOENG))

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) has complex and multi-symptoms, making it challenging to detect early-stage disease and to monitor the established patients. This also makes it challenging to design the protocol for conducting clinical trials to establish new medication and treatment to better support people with PD.
