Data Points

[WC309]

Dr. Costantini has established a clinic in Italy.

The clinic evolved a novel and unique approach to Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders.

The clinic attempted to serve a global Parkinson’s community.

Dr. Costantini may not be able to realize his vision.

His colleagues at the clinic are likely looking at options and ways to continue to serve the PD community.

Even though Dr. Costantini and his colleagues have published several papers this has not enabled them to get the traction they see as necessary for PD patients.

This is an issue of scale.

There is a song by Avicii with the lyrics

… I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

May I suggest that Dr. Costantini’s clinic explore contacting one of the cofounders of Google

This person has a gene that predisposes him to Parkinson’s.

He has been making contributions to Parkinson’s research.

I can imagine a good fit for the following reasons.

Dr. Costantini’s research creates essentially a series of anecdotal data points.

Google Is comfortable with anecdotal data.

This Health Unblocked site shows that global anecdotal experiences have meaning and value.

Collecting a rather vast data set from all of Dr. Costantini’s patients as well as members of the PD global community Is not an overwhelming task for data scientists at Google or for that matter a research firm funded by MJF.

I am not sure how that will cover research into the placebo effect which is an area that Dr Costantini says needs to be researched.

Article noes Sergey Brin had invested 50 million in PD research as of 2010

I was only attempting to notify the clinic of a Potential funding source as there does not seem to be a way to contact the clinic.
