SDS meets Geophysics
A new collaboration has started with the Institut of Geophysics (headed by Prof. Christine Thomas). We are designing a study to systematically assess measurement accuracy of our system by comparing to one of most precise Goldstandards: Seismometers! Christine Thomas, Angelo Pisconti and Rafael Abreu.
First 100 participants
We have successfully recruited and measured 100 participants. Among of them, 52 patients with Parkinson’s disease, 14 with other Movement disorders and 34 healthy one. Hope to keep this great start.
