Neuromeasures
It is a project co-funded by MIUR (PON FESR Calabria 2007/2013 "Azioni per il Potenziamento delle infrastrutture della rete Regionale dei Poli di Innovazione") aimed at the development of innovative processes and services supporting the early diagnosis of motor, behavioral and mnestic disorders in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's dementia.
Objectives
The Neuromeasures project aims at creating innovative processes and support services for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's dementia and specific motor, behavioral and / or mnesic disorders that characterize these diseases.
The project is part of an innovative scientific context with the aim of integrating the current knowledge of biomarkers that help characterize the main clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's dementia, with the knowledge deriving from modern neurosciences that propose new pathophysiological scenarios.
The creation of new behavioral prototypes and advanced neuroimaging, based on "Virtual Reality" technologies and "Data Fusion" methodologies and services, are aimed at extracting diagnostic information related to the diseases under study and re-elaborating the management of innovative processes for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's dementia.
Another goal of the project is developing new decision support services for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's dementia through the use of advanced computational tools, especially Machine Learning techniques. The expected outcome of this activity is an innovative product of notable relevance in clinical practice in terms of support tool in the processes of accurate and early diagnosis, based on the identification of new neuroimaging, behavioral and molecular markers.
