A University of Florida researcher has developed an open-source computer program that uses artificial intelligence to analyze videos of patients with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.
The tool, called VisionMD, helps doctors more accurately monitor subtle motor changes, improving patient care and advancing clinical research.
VisionMD analyzes standard videos—whether recorded on a smartphone, laptop or over Zoom—and automatically extracts precise motion metrics. The software runs entirely on local computers, ensuring data privacy.
The tool is already in use globally, with researchers in Germany, Spain and Italy using it to analyze thousands of patient videos as they explore how computer vision can improve movement disorder care.
Early adopters say VisionMD's accessibility and ease of use have the potential to transform movement disorder research and care.
