This is our third episode in our series on the topic of using technology to assist you along your journey of living with Parkinson’s disease. In this episode, I speak with a representative of a company offering a telehealth platform specifically for neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s. We all quickly adopted to seeing our doctors via the Internet during the pandemic. Some of us grew to like it or even prefer it over in person appointments. It offers conveniency, expertise and a care team approach. Who might be interested in utilizing such a service? Anyone. More specifically, someone without easy access to a Movement Disorder Specialist in their area. Also, people who are looking for a second opinion. Or, someone who is finding it hard to get an appointment with their neurologist any time soon to discuss medications and other concerns.
Toward the end of the episode, I speak with a person with Parkinson’s who is a client of Synapticure, the telehealth platform, who lives in a smaller city in Georgia. Don’t miss her perspective.
