Abstract
A critical view of the healthcare analysis of patients with Parkinson'sdisease (PD) can help physicians determine better treatment strategies as well as promote patient awareness and condition's management. An innovative approach to analyzing these strategies is to use patient segmentation using electronic medical records (EMR). The motivation of this study is to examine the following challenges: i) segmentation of PD patients in uniform subgroups with relevant demographics and other parameters, and ii) using machine learning instruments (e.g. decision tree learning) to provide a correct classification of the patients among specific subgroups. The results indicate the segmenting EMR data can provide distinct clusters that describe the likeness of the attributes of patients with PD.
