Paradigma

The Parkinson’s disease Digital Markers (ParaDigMa) toolbox is a Python software package designed for processing real-life wrist sensor data to extract digital measures of motor and non-motor signs of Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Specifically, the toolbox is designed to process accelerometer, gyroscope and photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, collected during passive monitoring in daily life. It contains three data processing pipelines: (1) arm swing during gait, (2) tremor, and (3) pulse rate. These pipelines are scientifically validated for their use in persons with PD. Furthermore, the toolbox contains general functionalities for signal processing and feature extraction, such as filtering, peak detection, and spectral analysis.
