There are many different symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease and the order in which these develop and their severity is different for each individual. Usually, the symptoms start mildly and develop gradually. Parkinson's disease symptoms are distinguished between motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that is caused by the degeneration of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra, which controls movement, resulting in tremors, slowness of movement, rigidity, and impaired balance and coordination – the primary symptoms of the disease.

With the current practice of treating patients with Parkinson’s disease through in-person clinical examination, clinicians have only a limited amount of time available for observing and examining the patients and are heavily relying on patient reporting for symptoms and overall well-being.

The DGN-Kongress in Berlin was the venue for this year’s annual meeting of the German Neurological Society from November 8 to 11, 2023. Launching its presence in Germany, Adamant Health participated for the first time as an advanced technology provider with a booth to promote our concept for accurate and detailed symptom measurement.

We’ve just returned from this year’s International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders in Copenhagen and are strongly encouraged by the valuable and in-depth discussions we had there. We feel it is absolutely key to continue educating the market about the EMG signal’s role in quantifying the neurophysiological basis of motor symptoms and why it provides a more accurate picture.
