AD/PD 2021
The 15th International Conference on Alzheimers & Parkinsons Disease
March 9-14th
nQ Medical is proud to be a Gold Sponsor the AD/PD Conference from March 9th-14th.
Digital Biomarker Discovery Platform
Biomarker Discovery Platform of data modeling that can be
adapted cross-disorder and readied for rapid scaling.

Artificial Intelligence
nQ Medical’s artificial intelligence-powered computational biomarker yields powerful insights. We believe that the way our fingers interact with smart phones and computers can reveal the presence of certain neuromotor and neurocognition diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Decentralized Clinical Trials
The potential of our technology has been shown in clinical research at MIT, backed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the Cleveland Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Remote Patient Monitoring/Ambient Telemetry
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 patients, caregivers, and clinicians.

Challenge Met By Machine Learning
nQ uses machine learning to evaluate information obtained from the daily use of mechanical and touchscreen devices. Six clinical studies have demonstrated our ability to detect the pathological signs of neurological disease sooner than the tools we have today.
Beyond the potential for early detection of symptoms, 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 study participants by improving patient targeting and screening, thereby shrinking recruitment time.
- Dependence on in-clinic observation is reduced by relying on at-home, unbiased real-world data.
- Offers the potential to shape clinical trial design for neurodegenerative diseases with the earliest measure of therapeutic impact, thanks to passive, continuous monitoring of patients.
Exploratory Development of Future Applications to Measure Disease Progression
Clinical applications in development include:
- A mobile platform used to monitor patient care remotely under the guidance of a healthcare professional in conjunction with other prescribed therapy.
- A digital medicine device that supports clinical drug titration decisions, and a tool for patient engagement and adherence as well as caregiver observation.
What Specialists Think
In a recent survey† 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, could potentially 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%)
