- The test could detect Parkinson’s up to 7 years before symptoms
- Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder
- The AI-driven test is less invasive than traditional Parkinson’s diagnostic tests
(NewsNation) — Researchers have developed a new blood test that can predict Parkinson’s disease up to seven years before symptoms appear.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder that can cause symptoms such as tremors or speech changes. It is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder that is estimated to affect about one million Americans.
Researchers from University College London and University Medical Center Göttingen in Germany developed the new AI-powered blood test.
