Join the Conversation: Parkinson’s & Mixed Reality

We’re pleased to share an exciting research opportunity from the University of Limerick, and we invite members of the Early Onset Parkinson’s community—along with carers, family members, and healthcare professionals—to take part.

Professor Amanda Clifford and her research team are conducting a World Café study to explore the use of mixed reality technology in Parkinson’s rehabilitation. This study aims to gather diverse perspectives and experiences that will help shape the future of how this innovative technology is used in clinical settings.

By taking part, you will be contributing to pioneering research aimed at improving rehabilitation experiences through the use of technology.
