076 PD Tech Part 2: Remote Patient Monitoring

This is our second episode in our tech series. In the first episode we introduced you to a couple of physical items developed to help People with Parkinson's improve their gait and avoid freezing. The other episodes, including this one, will be more about using the internet and software/apps to help you and your doctor monitor your symptoms and provide you with the best care possible. What if all you had to do is push a button and remote monitoring of your symptoms would begin? You and your doctor will know the exact times you are on and off – when your medicine is working or not. If you have dyskinesia or tremors. Information on your gait meaning an abnormal walking pattern. In this episode, I talk with a co-founder of NeuroRPM. They recently won FDA approval for their AI and data analytics platform for doctors, patients and partners. Basically, you wear an Apple Watch which communicates to an app on your iPhone and shares data with your doctor to assist with your care. It's remote monitoring at its best. I also had the privilege of speaking to a person with Parkinson's who uses this technology. Find out what he has to say later in the episode. He is very insightful and a dedicated Army vet, a treasure and clinical trial advocate. Enjoy the show. https://www.neurorpm.com/ https://www.dbsandme.com/en.html
