A New Smart Sensor to Adjust and Manage Parkinson's Drug Dosage

[Farooqji]

Indian scientists at Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) have achieved a major breakthrough in managing Parkinson’s disease with the development of an affordable, smartphone-based sensor system capable of detecting L-dopa levels in the body. This cutting-edge technology is set to transform how doctors and patients manage the condition, offering precise dosage control for more effective treatment.

Sounds great! is it available? Where!?

Great!

When it beeps and flashes does it tell me how long the next dose will take to work or know what I've eaten, so it will respond to the high protein meal I've finished. Does it compute the odds of being constipated and meds not as effective....at first read, seems overrated when the subcutaneous delivery systems work it out for you.

What am I missing here?

It seems like this sensor could also be used with the subcutaneous delivery system to adjust dosage.

Thank you for posting this, it sounds very promising!

Any idea how to contact someone to figure out when it might be available? It doesn’t seem like regulatory approval would be necessary and they emphasize the affordability of it.
