About the project
Many people living with neurodegenerative conditions such as motor neuron disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease experience speech problems. Using common digital technologies such as smartphone apps, we can record and analyse speech, along with other health information in detail. We aim to provide new information for people living with these conditions, researchers, and healthcare professionals. This study will investigate the use of these digital technologies and speech recordings to help diagnose and monitor these conditions.
The results may be of benefit to people with neurological conditions in the future. We anticipate that our research will lead to a better understanding of these conditions and could help in producing new and better treatments, tests, and ultimately, preventing neurological conditions.
