Scientists Develop AI-Assisted,Blood Test to Detect, Parkinson's Before Onset.<br/>'The Guardian' reports that researchers believe <br/>a new blood test that uses artificial intelligence <br/>can predict the development of Parkinson's disease. .<br/>The test, which could alert people to the health <br/>condition seven years before symptoms arise, <br/>may hit the health service within the next two years.<br/>Currently, there are no drugs that protect the brain <br/>from Parkinson's, however, an accurate predictor <br/>would allow clinics to identify at-risk patients. .<br/>Those patients could be eligible to take <br/>part in clinical trials of treatments that <br/>are aimed at slowing the disease.<br/>At the moment, <br/>we’re shutting the <br/>stable door after<br/>the horse has bolted, Prof Kevin Mills, Senior author on the study at UCL Great <br/>Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, via 'The Guardian'.<br/>We need to get to <br/>people before they <br/>develop symptoms. <br/>It’s always better to do <br/>prevention rather than cure, Prof Kevin Mills, Senior author on the study at UCL Great <br/>Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, via 'The Guardian'.<br/>'The Guardian' reports that Parkinson's is the fastest <br/>growing neurodegenerative disease in the world, <br/>impacting over ten million people worldwide.<br/>People with the disease experience <br/>uncontrollable tremors, difficulty <br/>with movement and muscle stiffness. .<br/>The disease can also cause problems with <br/>balance, memory, nerve pain and dizziness.<br/>The new test, developed by scientists at UCL <br/>and the University of Göttingen, used AI to<br/>identify a signature pattern of eight blood <br/>proteins found in Parkinson’s patients
