Advancing Parkinson’s Care Through Technology and Research
The AI-PROGNOSIS project coordinator, Prof. Leontios Hadjileontiadis, shared insights on the development of a smartphone-based tool to assess motor skills in Parkinson’s patients at the 2nd Healthy Longevity Symposium, held by Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi on 21-22 November 2024.
The presentation highlighted a key focus of AI-PROGNOSIS: the development of a smartphone-based tool, the Comprehensive Motor Function Test (CMFT), to assess motor skills in Parkinson’s disease patients. The goal is to integrate this tool into a mobile app to enhance patient care using advanced technology.
The symposium gathered leading experts to explore key topics related to longevity and aging, which is recognised as the root cause of many chronic diseases. The event focused on the latest advancements in aging mechanisms, genomic precision medicine, rejuvenation, and social health policies. Discussions highlighted the potential of AI, advanced technologies, and precision medicine to address the challenges of aging, slow age-related diseases, and improve overall well-being.
By integrating cutting-edge research and technology, AI-PROGNOSIS is advancing innovative solutions aimed at improving the lives of people living with Parkinson’s disease.
