Recruitment of Pilot Study Finished
Despite the corona pandemic we met our minimum recruitment target of 500 participants: We have measured 518 participants, including 282 PD participants, 24 patients with Essential Tremor, 97 with other differential diagnoses and 101 Healthy controls. The next months will focus on data cleaning and first analyses results of our AI-based system.
Winner of the Machine Learning Challenge 2021
Tim Segger and Cedric Vadder (middle of photo) implemented high precision models to distinguish Parkinson’s Disease from other movement disorders. Their model performed best and most robust in the project seminar at the Department of Computer Science, University of Münster (Accuracy >82%, SD <0.02). Congratulations!
Eight new students participating in intense Machine Learning Course for Winter term 2020/2021
The course is a 10-15 ECTS points project seminar for Computer Science students at the University of Münster. This time, we are focusing on promising Methods of Ensemble Learning with Stacking and Deep Neural Networks. We are looking forward for new interesting algorithms and of course the best-performing team to beat accuracies from last course.
Winner of the Machine Learning Challenge 2020
Our students Luisa Beerboom and Alexander Leifhelm implemented high precision models classifying Parkinson’s disease vs other movement disorders and healthy samples. Their model performed best and most robust in our intense project seminar at the Department of Computer Science, University of Münster (Accuracy >80%, SD <0.03). Congratulations!
Recruitment paused, 433 participants measured.
Since March 2020 our study is not recruiting to reduce the spread of the virus. However, our site is experiencing a significant reduction of Covid cases on intensive care units. Study reactivation is soon, we will keep you informed. We can gladly confirm that we had regular recruitment until March and provide our most current…

MIE 2020 conference cancelled
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic affected all scientific conferences. Naturally, to reduce spreading of the virus, the MIE 2020 Conference was cancelled. Our planned talk on our study with interim analyses on our Machine Learning pipeline and diagnostic accuracy is still going to be published under the Conference proceedings and indexed in Pubmed. More information to…

SDS meets Geophysics
A new collaboration has started with the Institut of Geophysics (headed by Prof. Christine Thomas). We are designing a study to systematically assess measurement accuracy of our system by comparing to one of most precise Goldstandards: Seismometers!
