    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>Diagnosing Parkinson's Disease (PD) can be quite challenging as it presents with symptoms and lacks biomarkers. Nevertheless, the use of data fusion, which combines types of data using machine learning techniques holds promise, for the timely detection of the disease. In this study, we explore the application of data fusion by employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a step to reduce complexity. We then utilize the K Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classification to improve the accuracy of PD diagnosis. By analyzing nonlinear features associated with PD from a dataset PCA helps us extract attributes while maintaining important variations in the data. Subsequently, KNN is employed to identify patterns in this reduced feature space and effectively distinguish between individuals with PD and those who are healthy. Our results show improvements when using the KNN classifier compared to state-of-the-art approaches. This demonstrates its effectiveness in detecting PD leading to promising outcomes and providing a framework for precise PD diagnosis.</jats:p>
