The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has approved a research award to the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) and Johns Hopkins University to deliver telemedicine care to people with Parkinson's disease in their homes.
E. Ray Dorsey, MD, Director, Johns Hopkins Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center is the lead investigator on the project, working with collaborators from across NPF's Center of Excellence network including Peter Schmidt, PhD, NPF's Vice President of Programs. The project will focus on delivering the benefits of neurologist care using telemedicine to people in rural, remote, and underserved areas. The project is based on an innovative care model combining technology, training, and team-based care to transform Parkinson's management.
