An Argentine app that can detect Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s in minutes is now being used in 16 countries (in Spanish)
Neuroscientist Adolfo García likes to say that the digital tool he developed after many years of researching language disorders associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s arose from dissatisfaction. «After so long referring to our findings as ‘translational science’ [that can be applied in clinical medicine], I realized that this was just a […]

Addressing Alzheimer’s: speech and smell tests may help to detect cognitive decline
Digital tests based on speech and smell are being developed to screen for cognitive decline, researchers told the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Toronto. Two speech apps are already some way down the road, testing several markers including speech speed, vocabulary and rhythm in different languages to establish a baseline for testing, a session convened […]

Detecting Parkinson’s disease through everyday handwriting (in Spanish)
Parkinson’s disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, affects the central nervous system and progressively impairs motor control. Its characteristic symptoms include muscle stiffness, resting tremors, postural instability, and slowness of movement, which affects activities that require coordination, such as handwriting. This often presents specific alterations, including micrographia—an abnormal reduction in letter size—and dysgraphia—difficulties […]
