Label-Efficient Learning and Continuous Monitoring of Motor Function Symptoms
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system affecting both motor and non-motor functions. It is characterized by weakened and damaged neurons and eventually neuronal death. PD significantly impacts quality of life, thus in-home monitoring, particularly of Freezing of Gait (FoG), is paramount...
