About the Company
Quantitative Digitography (QDG) Health is a unique comprehensive motor monitoring (CMM) platform enabling cost-effective neurological care to all people with Parkinson’s Disease and bringing management of Parkinson’s disease to the 21st century. Its novel technology and AI-enhanced service transform care by seamlessly integrating comprehensive actionable metrics of all motor symptoms, in real-time, into the electronic health record or EHR. QDG CMM empowers more Health Care Providers (HCPs) to deliver data-driven care and personalized, optimized treatment plans. It gives people with Parkinson’s disease the power to regain control of their everyday lives. High-resolution data derived from QDG’s PRECISE algorithm is a paradigm shift for clinical trials by providing Go/NoGo answers in less time, with fewer participants, and with reduced expense. QDG technology was developed in the Stanford Human Motor Control Laboratory, led by a worldwide expert in movement disorders - Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart, and backed by decades of published research, QDG represents a pioneering advancement in Parkinson's disease management.
Utilizing an innovative, custom-engineered digitography device, QDG captures alternating finger-tapping data, which is then analyzed securely in the HIPAA-compliant cloud-based server and provides quantitative, validated measures of all motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (including rigidity) in real-time, which are made readily available to the HCP within the electronic medical record (EMR). QDG can be used remotely, in the outpatient clinic, the Emergency Room (ER), and in the hospital. Its seamless integration enables rapid access to a patient's motor status at any given time, allowing HCPs to make informed management decisions promptly. Through its point-of-care monitoring capabilities, QDG significantly enhances patient care by increasing accessibility, improving treatment compliance, and ultimately reducing the need for costly inpatient stays.
