Spotting Parkinson's Article

To improve the early detection of Parkinson's disease, researchers and healthcare professionals are focusing on identifying its symptoms in the elderly population.

What is Parkinson's?

Parkinson’s disease, a chronic condition affecting movement and coordination, often manifests in older adults, making its identification crucial in the aging population. With advancements in medical science, healthcare providers are now equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to spot the early signs of Parkinson’s, enabling timely intervention and improved outcomes.

Accurate diagnosis

To ensure accurate diagnosis, healthcare providers also consider non-motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. These symptoms include sleep disturbances, depression, cognitive impairment, and gastrointestinal issues. By examining a combination of both motor and non-motor symptoms, medical professionals can enhance the accuracy of their diagnosis and facilitate personalised care plans for affected individuals.
