Early Parkinson’s Insights from Hand-Drawn Patterns

NeuroSketch is a digital diagnostic tool that detects early signs of Parkinson’s through simple spiral and sine wave drawings. We worked with the client to design and engineer the solution end-to-end, from an accessible drawing interface for older adults to an AI/ML pipeline that transforms sketches into reliable neuromotor insights. The result is a non-invasive, scalable, and clinician-ready screening tool.

How We Engineered a Digital Pathway for Preventive Neurology

The client, a digital health startup, faced a critical challenge: early detection of Parkinson’s is vital, but current diagnostic tools are invasive, costly, and inaccessible for regular screening. We partnered with them to design and engineer NeuroSketch, a domain-informed, AI-powered diagnostic platform. By combining expertise in AI/ML, mobile UX for older adults, and secure health data management, we built a tool that empowers both patients and clinicians with real-time, actionable insights.

What stood out the most was how easy it was to communicate with their team. We always knew where things stood, and there were no surprises.
