Blood test may detect Parkinson’s in earliest stages: Study

Scientists have developed a blood test to detect Parkinson’s disease in its very early stages, before a person experiences the first symptoms that would normally prompt a Parkinson’s diagnosis, a study showed. After identifying that people with Parkinson’s have alterations in two types of transfer RNA fragments (tRFs),…

Device that assesses brain activity may help diagnose Parkinson’s

Delphi-MD, a system that measures brain activity, may be used for the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and for differentiating between its subtypes, particularly those marked by rapid disease progression, a study shows. The technology, developed by Quantalx Neuroscience, provides direct, real-time imaging of the brain’s electrical…

New imaging technology may help diagnose neurological conditions

Targeted ocular spectroscopy, a technology that allows real-time imaging of the back of the eye (or eye fundus) while observing how light interacts with specific structures in the retina, can help diagnose several eye and neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, according to a recent study. The retina is the…

Virtual Reality System May Help Diagnose Parkinson’s

DiagnaMed Holdings will develop a virtual reality and artificial intelligence tool (VR/AI Neuro) for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease. The company acquired an exclusive worldwide license of intellectual property from the KU Center for Technology Commercialization, at the University of Kansas, for the…
