Proven Digital Diagnostics Platform
We know patients are not diagnosed soon enough, they don’t know how the disease is progressing.
Artificial Intelligence
nQ Medical’s artificial intelligence-powered computational biomarker yields powerful insights. How our fingers interact with computers can reveal – with startling accuracy – the presence of certain neuromotor diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Multiple Sclerosis.
Proven Through Trials
nQ has been proven in four years of clinical trials at MIT, backed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, We also have ongoing studies with the Cleveland Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital to expand nQ’s indications.
Real World Data
The fine control of typing and touch screen kinematics, as well as the frequent use of personal devices like smart phones brings real world data to clinicians.
Challenge Met By Machine Learning
nQ uses machine learning to evaluate information obtained from the daily use of mechanical and touchscreen devices. Four clinical studies have demonstrated our ability to detect the pathological signs of neurological disease sooner than the tools we have today.
Beyond early detection, our AI technology supports clinical trials by improving accuracy and efficiency in recruitment, 24/7, passive monitoring of disease progression from home, and measuring the impact of therapy on outcomes at a far more granular level than current gold standards.
What’s more, our platform provides unified data management across the entire lifecycle, from clinical trials to clinician dashboards, and from patient engagement to population health.
Key Uses of nQ’s Patented AI Technology
Recruitment and Support for Clinical Trials
nQ addresses the real challenges faced by clinical trials head on. Specifically, it helps with:
- Remote, online recruitment of ideal study participants, by shrinking disease detection and recruitment time. And, improving disease staging and patient targeting.
- Dependence on in-clinic observation is reduced by relying on at-home, unbiased real-world data.
- Shaping treatment pathways for neurodegenerative diseases with the earliest measure of therapeutic impact, thanks to passive, continuous monitoring of patients.
Disease Progression and Therapeutic Efficacy Measurement Platform
nQ is a valuable prescription companion in many forms. It can be deployed as:
- A Mobile Management App for Parkinson’s Disease and a powerful remote disease progression and therapy measurement tool, used with outpatient treatment, under the guidance of a healthcare professional, and in conjunction with a drug or device.
- A digital health device that supports medication-assisted treatment for clinical titration decisions, and a tool for patient engagement and adherence as well as caregiver observation.
- A direct download to patient’s mobile device after prescription and used in conjunction with a clinician-supervised outpatient treatment protocol.
What Specialists Think
In a recent survey1 of 2,305 movement disorder specialists, 95% of respondents indicated that the ability to monitor patients remotely is extremely valuable, very valuable or valuable.
Of current methods for the detection and monitoring of Parkinson’s Disease that are most in need of improvement, they single out:
- The specificity and sensitivity of collected data for critical decision making (76%)
- The lack of access to real-world, at home, patient data (56%)
- The subjective nature of data collecting (55%)
Furthermore, specialists feel that the availability of remote monitoring and disease progression data, like nQ provides, would positively impact patient care by:
- Helping more accurately titrate medication (72%)
- Providing useful data to support treatment decisions (71%)
- Encouraging patients to become more involved in therapy (63%)
- Improving patient adherence to medication (53%)
- Assisting patients and caregivers better understand and manage the disease (50%)
The specialists have spoken, and we are on the same page.

Peer Reviewed Clinical Publications
Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2018
nQ has proven effective with Parkinson’s disease and is currently in clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease with Cleveland Clinic. Our latest publication is on the value of nQ as a remote monitoring tool for Parkinson’s. The paper compares nQ’s performance in-clinic and at-home and proved that use of nQ at home, without clinical supervision, provides the same level of quality measurement as in the clinic supervised by the doctor. Read the paper here.
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2017
In this study nQ presented our first result from the analysis of data gathered using smartphones. We showed that we can accurately discriminate an early PD population with mild Parkinsonian signs from a healthy control group by comparing the typing patterns from their interaction with touchscreen keyboards.

Scientific Reports, 2015
In this proof of concept study, nQ demonstrated that daily interaction with a computer keyboard can be employed as means to observe and potentially quantify psychomotor impairment. This initial work in sleep inertia demonstrates that clinically relevant motor function changes can be measured by timing key press/release events from a typing routine on a physical keyboard, irrespective of the language or the typed text.
