ALS Diagnosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects all nerve cells in the body. Currently, there is no cure for ALS disease and the progression of ALS eventually leads to death.
This project utilizes past patient records and recognizes patterns in symptom onset in order to allow for early diagnosis of ALS disease. Early diagnosis allows for the possibility of prevention measures to be placed that can mitigate symptoms and even halt the development of ALS disease. Data mining algoirthm is used for pattern recognition in symptom onset. This project was completed with Princeton Pharametch.
