N?der Lab: Assessment and Monitoring of Neuromotor Function through Advanced Dynamic Pose Estimation
We will use videos of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) doing different things to develop sophisticated computer programs that can detect specific movement patterns that are only seen in people with PD. We will then see how well our computer programs can diagnose early PD, compared with medical and clinical professionals.
