Chinese tech giant Tencent has started a Parkinson's clinical trial in the UK in partnership with London startup Medopad, which has developed a smartphone app that can gather data on patients for doctors to analyze
, the duo are now testing an AI-powered app on about 40 patients over the next few months at a private mental health clinic in London called Dementech Neurosciences.Founded in 2011 by Dan Vahdat and Rich Khatib, Medopad has built an app that can test a patient's cognitive abilities across a series of tasks, and pass on the results to a doctor.
There are more than 30 Medopad staff members involved on the project, and around 35 Tencent employees, according to the FT. Medopad isn't the only company building patient monitoring apps in the U.K. DeepMind, an AI lab bought by Google in 2014, created an app called Streams which alerts NHS clinicians when patients deteriorate.
