In this Review, we examine the current state of research into PD therapies and outline future priorities for advancing our understanding and treatment of the disease. We identify two main research priorities for the coming years: first, slowing the progression of the disease through the integration of sensitive biomarkers and targeted biological therapies, and second, enhancing existing symptomatic treatments, encompassing surgical and infusion therapies, with the goal of postponing complications and improving long-term patient management. The path towards disease modification is impeded by the multifaceted pathophysiology and diverse mechanisms underlying PD. Ongoing studies are directed at α-synuclein aggregation, complemented by efforts to address specific pathways associated with the less common genetic forms of the disease. The success of these efforts relies on establishing robust end points, incorporating technology, and identifying reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of disease progression. In the context of symptomatic treatment, the focus should shift towards refining existing approaches and fostering the development of novel therapeutic strategies that target levodopa-resistant symptoms and clinical manifestations that substantially impair quality of life. Parkinson disease (PD) poses substantial management challenges owing to progressive disability and emergence of levodopa-resistant symptoms and treatment-related complications. This Review examines the current state of research into symptomatic and disease-modifying PD therapies and outlines future priorities for advancing our understanding and treatment of the disease.","PeriodicalId":19085,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Neurology","volume":"20 12","pages":"695-707"},"PeriodicalIF":28.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142574393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital health technologies could play a pivotal part in this transformation, with new advances enabling the collection of millions of data points from a single individual. Possible applications include unobtrusive monitoring that aids early detection of disease and artificial intelligence-based health advice. To translate these advances to meaningful benefits for people living with a disease, technologies must be implemented within a system that retains the physician expert as a central figure in decision-making. This Perspective presents a new framework, termed the Digitized Memory Clinic, for the diagnostic pathway of neurodegenerative dementias that incorporates digital health technologies with currently available assessment tools, such as fluid and imaging biomarkers, in an interplay with the physician. The Digitized Memory Clinic will manage people across the entire disease spectrum, from the detection of risk factors for cognitive decline and the earliest symptoms to dementia, and will replace the present paradigm of a pure ‘brick-and-mortar’ memory clinic. Important ethical, legal and societal barriers associated with the implementation of digital health technologies in memory clinics need to be addressed. The envisioned Digitized Memory Clinic aims to improve diagnostics and enable precise disease-tracking prognostication for individuals with memory disorders and to open new possibilities, such as precision medicine for prevention and treatment. In this Perspective, the authors present the Digitized Memory Clinic, a new framework for the diagnostic pathway of neurodegenerative dementias that incorporates digital health technologies with currently available assessment tools, such as fluid and imaging biomarkers, in an interplay with the physician.","PeriodicalId":19085,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Neurology","volume":"20 12","pages":"738-746"},"PeriodicalIF":28.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142489365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
