A study by an Indian-origin researcher Sona Patel can help the doctors diagnose Alzheimer and Parkinson over the phone
Sona Patel, an Indian origin professor at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, US has just received a financial aid of $380,000 for her research on the subject of diagnosing Alzheimer and Parkinson over the phone. The financial grant from the National Institute of Deafness and Communicative Disorders has been initiated to conduct a study on the vocal impacts of the neurological disorder, NJ.com reported.
She said her research would take forward previous studies that indicated differences in voice patterns between normally ageing adults, and those with Parkinson's disease.
"Your voice is really important," Patel was quoted as saying.
"You react to (stimuli) with your voice automatically, without even realizing it... now, the question is if we can use (voices) to indicate other neurological disorders," she said.
