A feature fusion sequence learning approach for quantitative analysis of tremor symptoms based on digital handwriting

作者:

Highlights:

• An automated essential tremor assessment model based on a drawing task.

• First database of 3 types of tremor tasks in patients with essential tremors.

• The patient's diagnosis was independently scored by multiple neurologists.

• Digital ink sequences were analyzed using a hybrid model of CNN and transformer.

• The system incorporates both sequence features and kinematic handwriting features.
