Their research revealed that patients Parkinson’s In its early stages they tend to speak in a quieter and more monotonous tone.
In order to test this, doctors used artificial intelligence to analyze speech patterns.
Participants were placed in a soundproofed setting where a microphone recorded the speech of people with and without Parkinson’s.
Then the algorithm prepared for this purpose listened to the speech to detect subtle changes that might not be able to human ear than capture it.
Paramedics have also found that people with Parkinson’s disease may also speak in a slower, more erratic manner.
Ritis Maskelunas, a researcher at Kaunas University of Technology, said: "We do not create a substitute for routine examination of the patient, our method is designed to facilitate early diagnosis of disease and track the effectiveness of treatment".
While experts have found that a change in speech may be a symptom, the NHS states that there are three main signs of the condition:
- involuntary vibration For certain parts of the body, known as tremor.
- slow motion
- Muscle stiffness and lack of flexibility
The guidelines state that a person with this condition may also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms, and these can include:
- Depression
- anxiety
