In this episode, we look at the role that technology can play in supporting people with Parkinson’s.  

UK-based Elaine Payne shares how she uses digital devices to help manage her Parkinson’s symptoms – and why she encourages those with the condition to connect with others in the community. 

She talks to Dr Alistair Mackett, a consultant geriatrician at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, UK, who sheds light on some of the tools and resources available. 

Joining them is Lucy Jung, CEO of technology company Charco Neurotech, who highlights the impact that digital support can have for both clinicians and people with Parkinson’s. 

Together, our guests explore the challenges and opportunities of implementing technology into management strategies – and look at possible future developments in this area. 

This podcast is sponsored by Charco Neurotech, the technology company behind the CUE devices – wearable medical tools designed to support movement in people with Parkinson’s. The episode represents the individual views and experiences of the podcast attendees.
