At the Institute of Medical Informatics Münster, a mobile system for motion analysis of patients with M. Parkinson Essential Tremor was developed. This project is funded by the IMF (Innovative Medical Research for Young Scientists) and carried out as an observational study in cooperation with the Department of Neurology of the University Hospital Münster. The system consists of so-called smartwatches, which are integrated as part of a short neurological examination on both wrists of the patient and thus measure high-resolution motion data.

Dry skin, a healing wound, a bothersome mosquito bite: Probably every person knows how tormenting and unpleasant itching can be. However, if this becomes chronic, there is usually more than "just" a sensation of the skin behind it. In Germany, about 13 percent of adults are affected by chronic itching and effective therapies are still lacking.
