Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects millions of individuals across the world and is characterized by gradual degeneration of the nervous system, and leading to both motor and non-motor dysfunctions. Early and reliable identification of the disease is important, as it directly influences therapeutic strategies and long term patient outcomes. This research work presents a hybrid stacking ensemble technique that integrates Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) with Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) to improve the predictive accuracy of PD diagnosis and disease progression assessment. By leveraging the complementary learning capabilities of both algorithms, the proposed framework aims to deliver strong generalization and high performance classification, particularly in the early stages of PD detection. The evaluation of proposed work is carried out using two publicly available UCI datasets: the Parkinson’s Disease Detection dataset for classification and the Parkinson’s Disease Telemonitoring dataset for regression-based prediction of UPDRS scores. On the detection dataset, the model achieved an accuracy of 96.7% with a perfect recall of 100%. On the Telemonitoring dataset, the framework produced an RMSE of 1.70 and an R² value of 0.973 for Total UPDRS, and an RMSE of 1.19 with an R² of 0.977 for Motor UPDRS. When the regression problem is reframed as binary classification, the model achieved a high accuracy range of 97-98%. Overall, the results show that ensemble-based learning techniques can significantly improve the reliability of predictive models and serve as effective decision support tools for the diagnosis and monitoring of Parkinson’s disease.
