Parkinson’s Disease Early Detection and Monitoring with KeySense

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, motor skills, and coordination. It is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's, affecting over 10 million people worldwide. 

The symptoms of Parkinson's disease can vary from person to person, but visible changes may include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. The disease progresses slowly over time, and the symptoms become more severe. If you are concerned that you or a loved one may have Parkinson's disease, we encourage you to take the KeySense assessment. It is free and can be taken from the comfort of your own home.

The Problem

There are some key challenges though in diagnosing Parkinson's disease:  

 The symptoms are often subtle and difficult to detect in the early stages.  

 There is no single, objective, diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease.  

 The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is often delayed by years, and someone may have it for a decade or more before it’s finally diagnosed.

Although there is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease, once diagnosed there are medications that can help manage the symptoms, along with lifestyle changes that can improve quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease.

The KeySense Solution

1. Simplicity

Our KeySense technology provides a simple, non-invasive, and accurate way to detect Parkinson's disease in its early stages. KeySense analyzes the rhythm and cadence of your keystrokes as you type on a computer keyboard. This data is then used to create a personalized risk score for Parkinson's disease.  

The KeySense test is quick and easy to take. Simply type some paragraphs of text on your own computer. The assessment takes about 10 minutes or so to complete, and your results are available immediately.

2.Accuracy

The KeySense test is typically more accurate than a GP's diagnosis. KeySense has been used by more than 40,000 people already and, in the latest analysis, has 90% accuracy in detecting Parkinson's disease in its early stages.

GPs, on the other hand, were only 75% accurate in their diagnoses. KeySense can also detect early Parkinson's up to 5 years before usual diagnosis. This means that KeySense can help people get the treatment and support they need early on.

3.You don’t need to be a good typist to do the assessment

The KeySense techniques don’t care about how quickly you type or how many mistakes you make. Even slow, two-finger typing is fine - we are mainly assessing the pattern of finger rhythms.  

We will ask you to transcribe a passage of text, then you will have the KeySense results immediately.  

The results are shown as scores across multiple movement attributes - it is not a pass/fail assessment or a diagnosis, but shows how you compare to others. Have a look at their reports below.
