Talk: Telemedicine for Improving Outcomes in Parkinson's Treatment
Abstract: Dr. Dorsey is helping investigate new treatments for movement disorders and improve the way care is delivered for individuals with Parkinson disease and other neurological disorders. Using simple web-based video conferencing, he and his colleagues are seeking to provide care to individuals with Parkinson and neurological diseases anywhere that they live. Working with Apple’s Health Kit he led in the development of the Parkinson mPower app designed to measure dexterity, balance and gait, voice, and memory at multiple times each day. Patients will use the app to record their voice. Subtle changes to the voice, including tremor and reduced amplitude. The app will can also measure dexterity by tracking how fast a person can tap the screen on their iPhone. The device’s GPS and accelerometer can measure mobility and balance.
