Koneksa, a healthcare technology company, announces a collaboration with OHSU to enable the inclusion of app-and actigraphy-based digital measures and electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) instruments from Koneksa’s Neuroscience Toolkit into a study comparing short-acting versus long-acting levodopa in Parkinson’s disease.

In a New York Times story illustrating the use of mental health care increased substantially during the pandemic, Jane Zhu, M.D., says insurers will have to determine whether telehealth is preventing patients from accessing more expensive forms of care, like using emergency rooms for mental health crises. She says: “It will trickle down at some point. It will either mean that total spending is going to go up, if there’s a lot of people using telehealth, or insurers are going to be looking for ways to reduce their spending.”

A new study reveals a remarkable advance toward helping patients speak again after a debilitating stroke by decoding a patient's brain signals into written and vocalized language and enabled an avatar on a computer screen to speak the words and display smiles and other expressions. Melanie Fried-Oken, Ph.D., consulted on the study and said the studies used predictive language models to help guess words in sentences. The systems don’t just match words but are “figuring out new language patterns” as they improve their recognition of participants’ neural activity.
