The disease of Parkinson’s is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in France after Alzheimer’s disease. A major cause of disability in the elderly, it occurs in people aged 45 to 70.
If it is mainly characterized by untimely and uncontrollable tremors, Parkinson’s disease can also lead to non-motor and psychological symptoms such as fatigue, constipation, anxiety or even depression.
Regularly, applications emerge to make life easier for “Parkinsonians”, such as a spoonanti-tremor or vibrating pen to strengthen the hand and help patients write better.
If the current treatments make it possible to control the motor symptoms associated with the disease, they do not yet make it possible to stop the progression of the degeneration. It is therefore on this last point and at the level of early detection of the disease that research is currently trying to provide solutions.
