 Problem Definition

Detection of Parkinson’s Disease using stacking classifiers

made from Machine Learning Algorithms such as Support
Vector Machine, K-nearest neighbor and XGBoost. this system
will be deployed through a web application. This will also make
use of Synthetic oversampling of the minority class and use of
a feature selection algorithm while retaining the most
important ones that contribute to the accuracy of the model.
 Introduction
• Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that
affects movement and is characterized by symptoms such as
tremors, rigidity, and difficulty with balance and
coordination.
• Doctors usually diagnose the disease by taking a person’s
medical history and performing a neurological examination,
These include: DaTscan, Motor function tests, Genetic testing
all together to confirm the result.
• Using speech data from subjects is expected to help the
development of a noninvasive diagnostic.

 Dataset Description
How is Data collected:
• Recording is achieved by a Trust MC-1500 microphone with a
frequency range between 50 Hz and 13 kHz
• The microphone is set to 96 kHz, 30 dB and placed at 10 cm
distant from the subject
• patients are asked to say only the sustained vowels “a” and
“o” three times
• Features are extracted from the voice samples using acoustic
analysis software.
 Dataset Description
The publicly available dataset from the UCI repository has been used in this study( 195 instances)
 Scope
Functional Requirements (for webapp)

• Data-collection fields: Collection of relevant data.

• Validation: Validation of the user input
• Prediction: Can make predictions on new, unseen data.
• Autofill: corresponding fields are auto-filled to another model while
filling inputs of one model, to aid accessibility.
• Result Display: Results of the diagnosis in a Lucid manner, along with
other relevant information (if any).
• Other Accessibility: mobile compatible, light/dark/wide mode.
 Scope
Non - Functional Requirements (Web app)
• Performance: Real-Time Detection, Low Latency, and High Accuracy.
• User-friendliness: Easy to use, User-Friendly interface
• Privacy: The system should not collect user data without their
permission
• Reliability: No Frequent downtimes.
• Maintenance: Simple Process for Maintaining the Web Application.
 Technologies to be used
• ML Model: - NumPy, Web App: - Streamlit,
Pandas,
Matplotlib Python
Seaborn,
Scikit-learn

 Conclusion
This project aims to use speech signals for early detection of
Parkinson's disease, as early identification is crucial for
prolonging a patient's life. While there is no common feature
selection methodology or classifier for medical datasets, a
hybrid system has been developed with a 97.05% accuracy
rate. This system can provide a second opinion for Parkinson's
diagnosis but should not replace medical experts. The
system's effectiveness may vary depending on the chosen
feature selection methodology and classifier.
 Future Scope
• Detection of Parkinson’s disease can be done from a
diagnosis system by handwritten drawings as slowness and
tremors is also an early symptom of Parkinson’s which
adversely affects the patient’s handwriting.
• Different tools and techniques may be tried to yield different
results such as different SMOTE variants.
• Alternative methods for extracting voice features may be
explored.
