Cross‑cohort transfer of video‑based hyperkinetic movement disorder phenotyping

A proof‑of‑concept study developed a video‑analysis framework that combines markerless pose estimation, kinematic descriptors, and a pretrained foundation model to detect eight hyperkinetic movement disorder phenomenologies. The model was trained on 21 adults with confirmed disorders and 4 healthy controls, then externally validated on 12 pediatric patients with monogenic combined disorders; after lightweight calibration of the decision layer, Hamming accuracy rose from 0.804 to 0.839 and the Jaccard index from 0.548 to 0.633 on a held‑out subset of 7 children. The results suggest that a reus…

Why it matters

The study demonstrates a scalable, AI‑driven approach to routine video‑based phenotyping of movement disorders that could support Swiss healthcare’s AI initiatives in precision diagnostics and personalized treatment planning.
