Dear Kagglers,
\n“When the cure for Parkinson’s is found – and it will be – it will be because of all of us, working together.” – Michael J. Fox
\nOn behalf of the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center’s CMCM, we would like to thank everyone for your participation in this competition to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson’s disease!
\nFOG is a debilitating symptom that affects many people with Parkinson’s. Your work will help researchers better understand when and why FOG episodes occur. This will improve the ability of medical professionals to optimally evaluate, monitor, treat, and ultimately, prevent FOG events. If we can prevent FOG, we can decrease incidents of depression, falls, and fractures, and increase the independence of people with Parkinson’s who suffer from FOG.
\nWe’re incredibly grateful that you have contributed to this data challenge over the past 3 months, sharing your time and expertise with the Parkinson’s disease research community. We have been heartened watching you all help each other in the Kaggle forums. It has been great to see what can be achieved when working together via open science.
\nWe hope that you enjoyed participating and that you will walk away from the experience with an expanded knowledge of the world of Parkinson’s and movement disorders. Now, the PD research community will begin translating the tremendous work that you have done here into real-world solutions to help those with PD. We hope to find more opportunities to work with you all. If you are interested in doing more for the Parkinson’s community, you can get involved by signing up for a research study, advocating in your global community, or organizing or joining a local fundraiser. If you’d like to be informed of future opportunities to help Parkinson’s research, you can sign up here.
\nThank you again for your amazing contribution to advancing Parkinson’s research!
\nCheers!
\nLeslie, Jeff, and the FOG Data Challenge Team

Yes! This competition was a good one. For example, I participated for 80 days with almost no rest, and by the end of the competition I was very tired.
\nLuckily, you can do other things during model training and it helps relieve fatigue 😄.
Thank you for the great competition (my first!)! I developed an interest in the topic from this competition and would love to continue exploring the data. Seems like there is a real possibility of wearables helping to prevent FoG events! Definitely signing up to stay informed of further opportunities.
