A project to empower people with Parkinson’s disease to manage their care from home via pioneering technology has received a funding boost of nearly £500,000.
Led by University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust and the University of Plymouth, the home-based care pathway has recently benefitted from NHS Transformation’s Digital Health Partnership Award .
Researchers from Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry and Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust, in collaboration with the Oxford Computational Neurosciences Lab and the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), are looking for volunteers in the South West of England to assess a new technology for detecting Parkinson’s disease at an early stage.
