Executive Summary
A new study shows that Global Kinetics' Personal KinetiGraph (PKG) wearable sensor system can identify the best candidates for device-assisted therapies for Parkinson's disease including deep brain stimulation. See what Fatta Nahab, a neurologist at the University of California, San Diego, said about it here.
"Most patients with Parkinson’s are managed by a general neurologist or somebody who is not typically a specialist or expert in managing Parkinson’s, whereas the specialists are usually the ones who determine whether somebody is a good candidate for a device-assisted therapy such as deep-brain stimulation. So that creates a little bit of a disconnect." – Fatta Nahab, neurologist, University of California, San Diego
