Parkinson’s disease is a debilitating, and still incurable, neurological disease. While there are no reliable blood or laboratory tests for diagnosing Parkinson’s, new research using advanced computer-based screening methods is providing new hope for earlier identification and treatment of the disease. 

Parkinson’s disease affects tens of millions of people worldwide. A promising new study suggests that it may be possible to detect PD before severe symptoms occur. But how? Enter artificial intelligence! In this episode of Excited by the Science, our experts discuss a new way to detect Parkinson’s disease in its early stages using AI to analyze our breathing while we sleep.
