  • Publication number: 20240298964
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for quantitatively determining a clinical parameter which is indicative of the status or progression of a disease, comprises: providing a distal motor test to a user of a mobile device, the mobile device having a touchscreen display, wherein providing the distal motor test to the user of the mobile device comprises: causing the touchscreen display of the mobile device to display a test image; receiving an input from the touchscreen display of the mobile device, the input indicative of an attempt by a user to place a first finger on a first point in the test image and a second finger on a second point in the test image, and to pinch the first finger and the second finger together, thereby bringing the first point and the second point together; and extracting digital biomarker feature data from the received input wherein, either: (i) the extracted digital biomarker feature data is the clinical parameter, or (ii) the method further comprises calculating the clinical parameter from t

  • Publication number: 20230172526
    Abstract: The application relates to devices and methods for assessing cognitive impairment and/or speech motor impairment in a subject. The method comprises analysing a voice recording from a word- reading test obtained from the subject by identifying a plurality of segments of the voice recording that correspond to single words or syllables and determining the number of correctly read words in the voice recording and/or the speech rate associated with the recording.

  • Publication number: 20220319003
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to systems and methods for predicting a future visual acuity of a subject by using machine-learning models. An image of at least part of a retina of a subject can be processed by one or more first machine-learning models to detect a set of retina-related segments. Segment-specific metrics that characterize a retina-related segment of the set of retina-related segments can be generated. The segment-specific metrics can be processed by using a second machine-learning model to generate a result corresponding to a prediction corresponding to a future visual acuity of the subject.
