Can AI Detect Parkinson’s Disease in Our Night-time Breathing? (Excited by the Science Ep.001)
Parkinson’s disease affects tens of millions of people worldwide. A promising new study suggests that it may be possible to detect PD before severe symptoms occur. But how? Enter artificial intelligence! In this episode of Excited by the Science (https://www.edanz.com/excited-science...) our experts discuss a new way to detect Parkinson’s disease in its early stages using AI to analyze our breathing while we sleep.
Host Julian Tang welcomes expert panelists Daniel McGowan, James Graham to discuss the exciting science behind the article, "Artificial intelligence-enabled detection and assessment of Parkinson’s disease using nocturnal breathing signals" (Yang, et al.) https://www.nature.com/articles/s4159... DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-022-01...
