Abstract
In this paper, which is part of a wide-ranging cross study for the diagnosis of Essential Tremor, we present a selection of nonlinear biomarkers from drawings and handwriting. These include Fractal Dimension and Entropy. The presence of integrated features of other diseases such as stress will be also analyzed. Then these new biomarkers will be integrated in future works with those obtained in the Biodonostia study. It should be highlighted that the use of this technology could provide undoubted benefits towards the development of more sustainable, low cost, high quality, non-invasive technologies. These systems are easily adaptable to the user and environment, and from a social and economic point of view can be very useful in real complex environments.
