PAWDS (Parkinson's Algorithmic Detection Software)

This work has been officially published to the Journal of Student Research! To read my analysis of PAWDS, please visit this link: https://www.jsr.org/hs/index.php/path/article/view/1405

This software application is meant to predict whether the user has Parkinson's disease based on the kinematics of their handwriting. It uses a drawing tablet to measure data such as velocity, acceleration, letter size, etc. to ultimately give a prediction for Parkinson's based on a scale from 0% to 100%.
