As of today, there is still no objective test to diagnose Parkinson's disease. While we wait for researchers to find a biomarker, there is an organization using dogs to sniff out and detect an odor associated with PD. Yep, you heard it right. The dogs are super smellers and can detect PD with a 90% or better accuracy. To learn more about this and what this means for diagnosis and treatment of PD, we talked with the program director and one of the dog handlers. You won't want to miss this conversation.
