Big data and Parkinson’s disease

April 19, 2018

While there remains no cure for Parkinson’s Disease as of yet, Big Data is making major strides in grossly expanding what we know about the disease and thus making a cure more likely in years to come. Parkinson’s doesn’t just affect old people, either, as many people once suspected. More recent cases, such as those of Muhammed Ali and Michael J Fox, have helped prove the fallacy of that once commonly-held assumption. Still, far less is known about the disease than is known. For instance, Parkinson’s is usually diagnosed through a series of 15-minute appointments. Given that P arkinson’s regularly varies in severity, however, those 15-minute appointments may not give doctors or a treatment team a very thorough picture of a patient’s disease. Andy Grove, a former CEO of Intel, however, is helping researchers making strides with the use of Big Data. In the last few years, Intel has teamed with the Michael J Fox Foundation to gather data from Parkinson’s patients, with the aim of using that data to better understand the disease.
