Abstract

Parkinson disease is a neurological disorder. In this disease control over body muscles get disturbed. In almost 90% of the cases, people suffering from Parkinson disease (PD) have speech disorders. The goal of the paper is to differentiate healthy and PD affected persons using voice analysis. There are no well-developed lab techniques available for Parkinson detection. Parkinson detection using voice analysis is a noninvasive, reliable and economic method. Using this technique patient need not to visit the clinic. In this paper the authors have recorded 155 phonations from 25 healthy and 22 PD affected persons. Classification is done using two proposed parameters: Local angular frequency and instantaneous deviation in the waveform. Support vector machine is used as a classifier. Maximum 86.8% classification accuracy is achieved using linear kernel function.
