High School Students Diagnose Parkinson's with AI

Three high school students from Atkins High School are national finalists in the Presidential AI Challenge after building an AI tool that diagnoses Parkinson’s disease using voice analysis and drawings—offering a low-cost, accessible alternative to expensive MRIs and scarce specialists, especially in rural areas. Motivated by real-world healthcare gaps, they adapted a convolutional neural network to create a solution that could transform early detection. Now heading to Washington D.C. to compete against top national teams, they’ve already proven themselves as brilliant young innovators tackling complex health challenges with tech that could save lives.
