- Additional information
- Supported by a Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship, this work resulted in a patented and CE Marked, home-monitoring medical device (LID-Monitor), currently marketed by University of York spin-out ClearSky Medical Diagnostics Ltd. (clearskymd.com). It has been used by NHS hospitals (Leeds, Harrogate, Scarborough and Plymouth) and in China (Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai) to help reduce the debilitating side-effects of medication for Parkinson’s. A health economic assessment determined that the device will save the NHS £84m per year and significantly improve the patient’s quality of life (Filby et al., Value in Health 18.7 (2015): A358).
