    DAT-PD is a domain-adaptive transformer model designed to predict continuous Parkinson's disease severity from smartphone voice recordings.

  • 2

    The model was developed using the mPower dataset, which includes over 58,000 voice recordings from 5,800 participants.

  • 3

    DAT-PD achieved a mean absolute error of 2.74 MDS-UPDRS units, outperforming six state-of-the-art baseline models.

  • 4

    eGeMAPS features significantly improved model performance compared to MFCC-only representations, reducing mean absolute error.

  • 5

    The model maintains robustness under noisy conditions, supporting unsupervised home-based monitoring of Parkinson's disease.
