Just 30secs To Detect Parkinson's Disease

Some 7.4 million people worldwide are estimated to have Parkinson's Disease -- almost one person in every 500 will get this condition. Currently there are no biomarkers, no simple bloodtest that you can take to diagnose this neurological disorder.

But soon, thanks to research by Dr Max Little and his team, a mere 30-second phone call to a computer could very well tell you whether or not you have Parkinson's Disease.

Dr. Max Little, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MIT and the director of the Parkinson's Voice Initiative discusses this breakthrough technology on the Breakfast Grille.
