We have 15 members as of today. This week we looked at a new methodology for potentially screening individuals who are at risk for developing PD. Data from preliminary research showed that by watching participants simply watch TV & identifying specific eye movements they concluded, “with eye movement data from 108 subjects, the team was able to identify older adults with Parkinson's Disease with 89.6 percent accuracy.” Further testing is needed, but the ramifications of this are tremendous as this is an extremely cost effective screening tool.
