Parkinson's Disease Help Identify Plain Keyboard

A disease like Parkinson’s disease is incurable. On the other hand, in the early stages it is possible to somewhat alleviate the plight of a person who fell ill. True, to identify the disease in the early stages is very difficult. A team of experts from MIT claims that it is still possible to do this, and a regular keyboard will serve as a tool for identifying.

The thing is that in a person without this disease the patterns, “algorithms” of printing are different from those that are characteristic of a person with Parkinson. It is different and the time for pressing the key, and some other parameters. Rate these things can special software. And you can identify the disease with the help of this software and the usual keyboard in the very early stages.

If there is evidence of a disease, then doctors can slow down the development of symptoms . Now specialists working on the project are monitoring the printing process of 21 volunteers, which will help create a more accurate algorithm for identifying this disease. True, the project’s readiness is still quite far away, but scientists are still working on it.
