New Scripps Study Combines DNA Testing, Sensors to Improve Parkinson’s Diagnosis
Researchers at the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) have launched a new study that aims to improve screening accuracy for Parkinson’s disease by combining the power of genetic sequencing and wireless sensors. Researchers hope to validate a testing method that can accurately differentiate between Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, the most common movement disorder, which is often mistaken for Parkinson’s. Earlier and better diagnosis could improve the use of treatment options
