Abstract

The impact of COVID-19 is acutely pronounced on patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease (PD) The majority of the 130,000+ UK patients are elderly, can suffer from respiratory complications, anxiety and depression. We propose to accelerate the development of an at-home Parkinson's Diagnostic Device (PDD) addressing this need to assist neurologists in telemedicine examination of PD patients for remote monitoring and subsequent updating of medication plans accordingly.
