Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease in the world. By 2050, an estimated 25 million individuals will be affected, an increase of more than 100% since 2020. The rapid rise in both incidence and prevalence of PD will require novel and innovative approaches to identification, treatment, and prevention.
This Special Issue will highlight research studies, articles, and reviews that address the unmet needs of people with PD. Articles on any of the following topics, identified by the National Roundtable on Parkinson’s Disease, are welcome:
- Diagnostic Advances;
- Therapeutic Innovations;
- Patient Perspectives;
- Disease Prevention;
- Home-Based Medical Care;
- Clininical Care Team Dynamics;
- Clinical Value-Based Care.
Scalable innovations will receive special attention.
Dr. Sneha Mantri
Guest Editor
