Parkinson’s
The pioneering remote monitoring platform will be available to demo at the PDNSA Conference
Mellisa McConaghy is one of Australia’s leading neuro physiotherapists, who noticed that there was a lack of effective exercise and rehab programmes for those with Parkinson’s. In 2013, McConaghy launched PD Warrior which “uses the principles of neuroplasticity and retraining the brain exercises that help slow down the progression of Parkinson’s symptoms.” Here NR Times [...]
"The research is really fascinating. The biology is interesting. It's such an exciting time for Parkinson's research."
Research inspired by Joy Milne, who discovered she can distinguish Parkinson’s from a distinct body odour
Developers of a new AI device aim to recreate neural networks to detect Parkinson's in patients. The device brings together a series of connected algorithms which collectively mimic the way a human brain works. It can assess whether someone has Parkinson’s from their nocturnal breathing. This neural network is also able to discern the severity [...]
TOP HAT study examines its potential in reducing hallucinations
NR Times meets Nikos Moschos, co-founder of PD Neurotechnology, to discuss the future of Parkinson’s tech treatments. Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, with existing treatments covering surgery, medication and supportive therapies such as physiotherapy. Technology, on the other hand, can offer numerous benefits to people who live with Parkinson’s. “The biggest challenge [...]
A protein identified as having a potential role in Parkinson’s has been linked to causing severe motor disorders in a study. The protein, Creld, plays an important role in the development of the heart in mammals, researchers say. A study at the University of Bonn analysed fruit flies of the genus Drosophila, which had been genetically modified [...]
Researchers could spot cellular brain changes associated with Parkinson's disease
The platform gives new levels of evidence-based continual insight into movement, medication and symptoms
