Writer: Jui KeskarJui Keskar


In this section, we delve into groundbreaking advances in Parkinson's disease detection and treatment. We explore a pioneering AI technology from a top university, which analyzes video footage to identify Parkinson's disease markers. This innovative tool enables individuals, particularly in remote areas, to record and upload walking patterns via smartphones, potentially revolutionizing diagnostics with results available in just 30 minutes, reducing hospital visits. Stay informed with these exciting developments in our fight against Parkinson's.
