Identification of biomarkers for parkinsonian disorders.

My motivation

Movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) are neurodegenerative conditions that significantly reduce the quality of life for those affected.

My research focuses on exploring the potential of wearable sensors and data science, such as machine learning applications, to develop robust digital biomarkers that accurately detect motor symptoms and monitor the disease progression promptly. Such biomarkers can be used by clinical experts to improve diagnostic accuracy, monitor the disease progression and personalise disease management plans.

Our research within the NeuroMetrology group demonstrates that in both PD and PSP our digital biomarkers are able to detect the disease progression earlier than the traditional clinical examinations. This is important because capturing early signs of PD motor symptom progression can enable the assessment of the effectiveness of medical treatment.
