Imagine being able to check for Parkinson’s disease from the comfort of home. This framework makes it possible. It’s a web-based setup guiding users through three tasks involving speech, facial expressions, and finger movements. Users record videos of these tasks, and the system analyzes them to spot potential signs of Parkinson’s. But it doesn’t just stop thereā€”it presents the results in a clear way and offers personalized resources for further treatment and care. The best part? It’s all accessible through any major web browser, breaking barriers to neurological care globally. It’s like bringing the expertise of a neurologist right to someone’s living room, making it easier for anyone to take control of their health.
