Projectdetails

Introduction

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, chronic, and debilitating neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure and no diagnostic test available. About 10 million people live with PD worldwide (1.2 million in Europe), and this number is expected to double by 2030 due to the aging population.

Social and Economic Burden

PD has a high social and economic burden, and there is a need to improve PD timely detection and diagnosis, especially in young people.

Project Aim

UNMASK aims to validate the technological and business feasibility of the olfaction-inspired technology developed in the ERC Starting Grant SCENT by establishing the proof-of-concept for the non-invasive and fast PD diagnostics.

Approach

To accomplish this, we will approach the project from both technical and business perspectives, with a perfect synergy between the research and business teams, and a close contact with clinical collaborators and stakeholders.
