From the BBC:
Voice algorithms spot Parkinson's disease " ... mathematician Max Little has come up with a non-invasive, cheap test which he hopes will offer a quick new way to identify [Parkinson's] disease." "Mr Little has discovered that Parkinson's symptoms can be detected by computer algorithms that analyse voice recordings." "He is aiming to record up to 10,000 voices and has set up local numbers in 10 countries around the world. In the UK the number is 01865 521168." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18427851 An excellent idea. If it can also measure progression accurately, this will give a very useful tool for clinical trials: ring up every day to get a "score". With enough people, you'd know within days whether the treatment was working. John
