Could digital tests improve how we measure memory and thinking changes?

Researchers from University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust are investigating new ways to measure memory and thinking changes in Parkinson’s and Parkinson’s Dementia. 

They also want to find out if measuring memory and thinking changes using a computer could make testing for these symptoms easier and more accurate. 

Who
