Video monitoring improves therapy for sufferers of Parkinson's

Berlin - Outpatients with Parkinson's Disease can benefit from a new, video-supported therapy which helps match their medication with their individual needs at home, according to the Berlin-based Professional Association of German Neurologists (BDN).

About three or four times a day, the patient sits in front of the video and activates the recording.
