Advancing Neurodegenerative Disease Management: Technical, Ethical, and Regulatory Insights from the NeuroPredict Platform

Abstract

On a worldwide scale, neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s, face considerable healthcare challenges demanding the development of novel approaches to early detection and efficient treatment. With its ability to provide real-time patient monitoring, customized medical care, and advanced predictive analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming the way healthcare is provided. Through the integration of wearable physiological sensors, motion sensors, and neurological assessment tools, the NeuroPredict platform harnesses AI and smart sensor technologies to enhance the management of specific neurodegenerative diseases. Machine learning algorithms process these data flows to find patterns that point out disease evolution. This paper covers the design and architecture of the NeuroPredict platform, stressing the ethical and regulatory requirements that guide its development. Initial development of AI algorithms for disease monitoring, technical achievements, and constant enhancements driven by early user feedback are addressed in the discussion section. To ascertain the platform’s trustworthiness and data security, it also points towards risk analysis and mitigation approaches. The NeuroPredict platform’s capability for achieving AI-driven smart healthcare solutions is highlighted, even though it is currently in the development stage. Subsequent research is expected to focus on boosting data integration, expanding AI models, and providing regulatory compliance for clinical application. The current results are based on incremental laboratory tests using simulated user roles, with no clinical patient data involved so far. This study reports an experimental technology evaluation of modular components of the NeuroPredict platform, integrating multimodal sensors and machine learning pipelines in a laboratory-based setting, with future co-design and clinical validation foreseen for a later project phase.
