Description
Summary:This comprehensive review explores the advancements in machine learning algorithms in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) utilizing different biomarkers. It addresses the challenges in the assessment of PD for accurate diagnosis, treatment decisions, and patient care due to difficulties in early and differential diagnosis, subjective clinical assessments, symptom variability, limited objective biomarkers, comorbidity impacts, uneven access to specialized care, and gaps in clinical research. This review provides a detailed review of ongoing biomarker research, technological advancements for objective assessment, and enhanced healthcare infrastructure. It presents a comprehensive evaluation of the use of diverse biomarkers for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease (PD) across various datasets, utilizing machine learning models. Recent research findings are summarized in tables, showcasing key methodologies such as data preprocessing, feature selection, and classification techniques. This review also explores the performance, benefits, and limitations of different diagnostic approaches, providing valuable insights into their effectiveness in PD diagnosis. Moreover, the review addresses the integration of multimodal biomarkers, combining data from different sources to enhance diagnostic accuracy, and disease monitoring. Challenges such as data heterogeneity, variability in symptom progression, and model generalizability are discussed alongside emerging trends and future directions in the field. Ultimately, the application of machine learning (ML) in leveraging diverse biomarkers offers promising avenues for advancing PD diagnosis, paving the way for personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes.
