Method for diagnosing neurological diseases through measuring typing errors

Abstract

A typing data analysis system may be used to accurately detect early onset of CNS diseases and psychiatric disorders based on typing data. The typing data analysis system may determine typing cadence data and typing error data from typing data captured during normal, everyday typing activities including typing an email, blog, or text message. The typing cadence data and typing error data may be analyzed to determine typing based measures of different CNS diseases and psychiatric disorders. Typing based measures may be continuously determined from a patient's typing activities on the patient's personal computer, smartphone, or other commonly used device to monitor the patient's brain function over time. The typing based measures for the patient may be compared to profiles of CNS diseases and/or psychiatric disorders to screen the patient for a particular disease/disorder.
