**Who are we, you ask?**
We’re QDG Health, a group of engineers, scientists, creatives, and operators
(by day at least) working to bring the management of mobility disorders to the
21st century. Mobility disorders face a challenge: the inability to
objectively measure motor symptoms. Patients have no way to relay symptoms,
doctors lack a tool to monitor response to therapy or progression between
visits, and clinical trials waste billions on studies with blurry
measurements.
QDG Health enables on-demand assessment and cost-effective management of
mobility disorders. Our AI-enhanced remote monitoring ecosystem transforms
patient care by remotely capturing motor symptoms in real time that reveal
critical insights into a patient's mobility. The connected care platform
mutually empowers both clinicians and people with mobility disorders, enabling
precise therapies and worldwide access to neurological care.
Here’s a short blog post to learn more about how it works:
