A project to empower people with Parkinson’s to manage their care from home via pioneering technology has received a funding boost of nearly £500,000.
Led by the University of Plymouth and University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, the home-based care pathway has recently benefited from NHS Transformation’s Digital Health Partnership Award.
The unique pathway, launched in 2019, was co-designed by people with Parkinson’s and Parkinson’s clinicians and nurse specialists, and provides a novel innovative care solution combining at-home monitoring with the ability for patients to ask for healthcare practitioner input and support when they need it.
