Special pen could diagnose Parkinson's early

The video discusses a hi-tech pen developed in Tyneside that measures hand tremors to aid in diagnosing and treating Parkinson's disease. The pen could offer a cheaper alternative to current methods like datscan and help in medication assessment. Ali Finlayson shares his experience with Parkinson's, highlighting the pen's potential impact. The project has received significant funding, with hopes for clinical trials and global benefits.
