Better diagnosis in Parkinson's thanks to App?
About 400.000 people are affected by Parkinson's disease according to the German Society for Parkinson's and Movement Disorders in Germany. To draw attention to the illness and the fate of the patients, World Parkinson's Day takes place worldwide on April 11th. At the University Hospital Münster, more than 1.000 patients are treated with Parkinson's every year. New technologies also play a role here: A study at the UKM is currently testing a mobile system for analyzing the movement of those affected.

Parkinson's detection via app
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.
