Can a thirty-second phone call detect Parkinson's disease?
In short: Detecting Parkinson's early is notoriously difficult due to a lack of objective diagnostic tools. This video explores a breakthrough method using a simple, low-cost approach to identify the disease.
Applied mathematician and TED Fellow Max Little is developing a tool that analyzes voice patterns during a brief call. In clinical trials, this method has demonstrated a 99 percent accuracy rate in detecting Parkinson's disease, which currently affects an estimated 6.3 million people globally.
