It is well known that the earlier a disease can be detected in a patient, the sooner and better it can be treated to lessen and delay the effects of that disease.
I have seen very interesting information about the possibility of detecting Parkinson's very early in patients, with the help of an Artificial Intelligence system using "machine learning" algorithms.
The system is very simple, and is needed a mobile and the AI system. The patient must emit some phonemes (predetermined sounds) in front of the mobile, and thus transmit the information to the system that analyzes it.
The phonemes used are sounds that require the use of the throat, mouth and nose, and are language independent, so they can be used for people who speak different languages.
The App that goes on the mobile is called Aum and in some initial tests carried out with 36 Parkinson's patients and 36 healthy people, it was able to detect 100% of the patients; in addition to being able to detect patients who were taking medication, from those who were not
The great advantage of this system is, first of all, its simplicity of use, and also the possibility of carrying out the tests remotely by means of a mobile phone. That way it can be easily applied to remote places.
Tests have also been carried out with patients who had lung or Covid ailments, and it has been proven that the AI system is also capable of detecting these diseases.
This is one more example of how new technologies can help us in the early detection of diseases, in order to combat them more successfully. We hope that they will soon finish developing the process and receive the permits from the health authorities, to have it on the market as soon as possible.
