Join a Groundbreaking Study That’s Shaping the Future of Parkinson’s Research
At EOPD.ie, we believe in empowering people living with early onset Parkinson’s through community, information, and advocacy. That’s why we’re proud to share and support Fox Insight, an innovative online research study led by The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
What Is Fox Insight?
Fox Insight is transforming how Parkinson’s disease (PD) research is conducted. It’s an online platform where people with Parkinson’s — including those with early onset — can contribute valuable insights by sharing their lived experience.
By answering periodic surveys and questionnaires from the comfort of your home, you’re helping researchers better understand the complexities of life with Parkinson’s. This kind of real-world data is crucial in driving progress toward improved treatments, care, and ultimately, a cure.
How It Works
- Once you sign up, you’ll complete your first study visit, which includes a series of questions about your background and health. Like a first visit to a new doctor, this initial session takes about 1–2 hours.
- After that, you’ll be invited to participate in brief follow-up surveys every three months, each taking just a short time to complete.
- Each completed survey is a new “study visit”, contributing directly to meaningful scientific discovery.
And you won’t be left wondering how your input is used — Fox Insight will share updates on how the data is being applied and what researchers are learning along the way.
Why It Matters
By participating, you’re helping to build the largest and most comprehensive dataset about Parkinson’s — including early onset — ever collected. This helps researchers:
- Identify patterns and trends across the Parkinson’s community
- Explore the effects of different symptoms, medications, and lifestyle factors
- Strengthen advocacy efforts by providing solid evidence to shape policy and care
The more voices we include, the clearer the picture becomes — and the stronger our collective push for progress.
Join the Movement
If you or a loved one are living with Parkinson’s, we invite you to sign up and take part.
It’s free, secure, and your participation will directly support advances in research and care.
Together with the Michael J. Fox Foundation and people around the world, we’re building a future with better answers and better outcomes for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.
Thank you for being part of this change.
