Parkinson’s test

I’ve just helped develop a test for Parkinson’s disease.

Mathematician Max Little has developed algorithms analysing voices that can spot Parkinso’ns disease quite reliably. He needs lots more voice samples to improve his algorithms accuracy. So I’ve just spent 3 minutes calling 01865 521168 and following instructions to have my voice anonymously recorded and added to his database.

He’s aiming to have clinical trials using this methodology and now with my voice in the data within two years.

Parkinson’s disease affects 127,000 in the UK and 20million worldwide. No blood tests exist to spot it. So this voice initiative is really important and should allow not just very early detection but also ongoing support and treatment.

Will you call 01865 521168 today?
