Speaker models for monitoring Parkinson’s disease progression considering different communication channels and acoustic conditions

Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease vary from patient to patient. Additionally, the progression of those symptoms also differs among patients. Most of the studies on the analysis of speech of people with Parkinson’s disease do not consider such an …

Towards an automatic evaluation of the dysarthria level of patients with Parkinson's disease

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that produces motor and non-motor impairments. The evaluation of motor symptoms is currently performed following the third section of the Movement Disorder Society – Unified Parkinson's …

Speaker Model to Monitor the Neurological State and the Dysarthria Level of Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

The progression of the disease in Parkinson’s patients is commonly evaluated with the unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale (UPDRS), which contains several items to assess motor and non–motor impairments. The patients develop speech impairments …

Gender-dependent gmm-ubm for tracking parkinson's disease progression from speech

Parkinson’s disease (PD) severity is evaluated by neurologist experts by means of several tests. One of them is the Movement Disorder Society–Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS–UPDRS). The main hypothesis is that changes in the speech of …

Parkinson's Disease Progression Assessment from Speech Using GMM-UBM.

Gaussian Mixture Model Universal Background Model (GMM-UBM) approach is used to assess the Parkinson’s disease (PD) progression per speaker. The disease progression is assessed individually per patient following a user modeling-approach. Voiced and …
