Restorative Parkinson Unit

Our research aims to improve treatment, care, and quality of life for people with Parkinson’s disease and related atypical parkinsonian disorders by optimizing the detection, monitoring, and individualized management of both motor and non-motor symptoms. The work combines clinical, epidemiological, health-economic, and translational approaches, including registry-based studies, multicenter cohort studies, home-based and palliative care interventions, and evaluations of advanced device-aided therapies, such as pump treatments and deep brain stimulation. We also develop and validate digital monitoring tools, including mobile applications and sensor-based systems, to support personalized treatment strategies, particularly in advanced and late-stage disease, while assessing outcomes for patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems.

Our research directly supports MultiPark’s goals by improving personalized diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson’s disease. We validate digital monitoring tools, optimize advanced therapies, identify psychiatric and cognitive risk factors, and implement home-based specialist and palliative care models that measurably improve the quality of life of patients and caregivers while reducing healthcare burden and costs.
