In their own words

“My mentor’s feedback was invaluable in helping me develop my work, improve my ideas, and overcome challenges throughout the project. I am especially grateful for how consistently he responded to my emails, always taking the time to provide thoughtful suggestions and guidance whenever I needed it. His encouragement and willingness to help played a significant role in my progress throughout the programme.”

The project

Voice-Based Parkinson’s Disease Detection Using Machine Learning

Rianna explored the intersection of medicine, speech analysis and machine learning. Her project investigated how measurable characteristics of a voice recording can be used as inputs to a classification model.

She brought the work together in Voxora, a web application that allows users to upload or record audio, processes voice features and displays a model prediction. Her report documents the design, implementation, testing and deployment of the prototype.

How the project took shape

  1. Explore voice features

    Investigate acoustic characteristics such as pitch, intensity, jitter and shimmer, and how to extract them from speech recordings.

  2. Connect the model

    Build a processing pipeline that turns audio into numerical features and passes them to a trained machine learning classifier.

  3. Build a working application

    Connect a Vue interface to a Python API, test recording and upload workflows, and deploy the application online.

Project outcomes

  • Produced a written project report explaining the question, methods, implementation and future directions.
  • Developed Voxora, a web prototype with audio recording, file upload and model-result display.
  • Gained practical experience in integrating machine learning, speech processing and web development.
