ForwardFrom Data to Medicine: Early Parkinson's Disease Detection
Speaker:
Jacob Simmering, PhD
Moderated by:
Sneha Mantri, MD, MS, FAAN
Early Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms are often missed altogether or misdiagnosed. Learn how one researcher is leveraging findings from insurance claim databases and the tools for detecting and evaluating PD to improve screening and earlier diagnosis for patients with limited access to specialist care.

Jacob Simmering, PhD
Jacob Simmering trained as a health economist at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy and is now an assistant professor at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. He is interested in using large scale data, including electronic medical records and insurance claims, to better understand the health care utilization and diagnostic patterns before a person is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Health data that is routinely, prospectively, and universally collected may contain powerful insights that can accelerate detection, diagnosis, and improve access to care for people with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. He is interested in using modern biostatistical, computational, and machine learning methods to achieve this goal.
