Abstract

AbstractMultimodal digital data registered with wearable biosensors has emerged as highly complementary of clinical pencil-and-paper criteria, offering new insights in ways to detect and diagnose various aspects of Parkinson’s disease. A pressing question is how to combine both the clinical knowledge of PD and the new technology to create interpretable digital biomarkers easily obtainable with off-the-shelf technology. Several challenges concerning disparity in biophysical units, anatomical differences across participants, sensor positioning, and sampling resolution are addressed in this work, along with identification of optimal parameters to automatically differentiate patients with PD from controls. We combine data from a multitude of biosensors registering signals from the central (EEG) and peripheral (magnetometry, kinematics) nervous systems, inclusive of the autonomic nervous system (EKG), as the participants perform natural tasks requiring different levels of intentional planning and automatic control. We find that magnetometer data during walking, across a variety of amplitude and timing signals provide optimal separation of PD from neurotypical controls. We conclude that considering multimodal signals, while differentiating across levels of intent in natural actions can be revealing of important features of PD that otherwise escape the naked eye. Further we add that clinical criteria combined with such optimal digital parameter spaces offer a far more complete picture of PD than using either one of these pieces of data alone.
