US EditionAI Earwax Screening Method Achieves 94% Accuracy for Parkinson's Detection
CHINA, JUN 17 – Chinese researchers developed an AI system that detects Parkinson's disease by analyzing earwax biomarkers with 94% accuracy, offering a non-invasive and low-cost early diagnostic tool.
- In China, researchers unveiled an AI system trained on earwax VOCs, achieving 94.4% accuracy in detecting Parkinson's disease.
- Current evaluations often miss early Parkinson's diagnosis, prompting exploration of non-invasive screening methods to enable earlier intervention and improved outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed earwax from 209 participants using GC-MS, identifying four VOC biomarkers linked to Parkinson's with 94.4% accuracy.
- This low-cost, non-invasive earwax analysis method could revolutionize early Parkinson’s detection and cut screening costs, aiding primary care diagnosis.
- Researchers plan multi-center trials including diverse populations and disease stages to validate earwax VOC analysis for Parkinson’s diagnosis.

New Parkinson’s test using earwax and AI could be key to early detection
Chinese researchers have developed a test that analyzes earwax to detect Parkinson’s disease with 94.4% accuracy. Researchers published the findings in ACS Publications’ "Analytical Chemistry," where they described developing a low-cost screening method for Parkinson’s using odors from an individual’s earwax. The study Researchers were able to identify four specific chemical compounds produced by secretions within the ear canal. Through these co…

Ear wax may hold the key to early Parkinson’s diagnosis
An unlikely body byproduct may be able to help doctors diagnose Parkinson’s Disease early. According to a new Chinese study, which was published in Analytical Chemistry, ear canal secretion, or ear wax, contain chemical compounds which can be telltale signs of Parkinson’s. During the study, researchers examined ear canal secretions from 209 people. About half (108 of the participants) had Parkinson’s. In their examinations, scientists were abl…
