Hi everyone! I am Gloria from KNUST, Ghana. I am excited to join you and explore the field of Parkinson’s research.
Welcome to the community, @edumaba_graham, we’re so glad you joined us! We have a few other community members from KNUST, including one of our community champions (@ekaamewu), so you’re in good company 
What are your particular research areas of interest?
Awesome!
My research interest focuses on wearable motion data analysis. Moving away from generic human activity recognition, I want to apply it to a specific medical context, so I am currently researching what can be done in the field of Parkinson’s. My work so far has led me here, so I am excited to see where this goes.
That sounds great! We have quite a few researchers in the community with experience in wearables data analysis (some of whom I’ve tagged below) as applied to movement disorders including Parkinson’s disease.

We’ve also hosted two webinars specifically around software toolkits designed for investigation of wearables data:
- Digital Phenotyping with PDkit - Open Source Software for Analysis of Wearables and Mobile App Data - developed and presented by @roussos (additional reading)
- From real-life wearable data to digital biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease: introducing the ParaDigMa toolbox - developed and presented by @luc_evers (additional reading)
Hopefully these can serve as some good starting points for your exploration
Awesome!
Luc Evers’ work actually led me here. Indeed, a good place to be.
Thank you very much.
Welcome @edumaba_graham! Nice to hear you’re also working on wearable analyses for PD - feel free to reach out if you need any help with getting started.
Awesome!
Thank you so much.
Welcome aboard, @edumaba_graham. You’re in good company.
