Parkinson's Disease Drug Dose Optimization Using Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning
Parkinson's disease (PD) medication management requires balancing motor symptom control against adverse effects such as dyskinesia, making treatment decisions multi-dimensional and preference-sensitive. Most reinforcement learning (RL) approaches in healthcare optimize a single scalar objective, ...
Trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride for Parkinson's disease
