Conditions

Summary

Many people living with neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, motor neuron disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's disease (PD), suffer from speech problems. Using common digital technologies such as smartphone apps, the investigators can record and analyse speech in detail to provide new information for people living with these conditions, researchers, and healthcare professionals. This study will investigate the use of these digital speech recordings to help diagnose and monitor these conditions. To take part, participants will have either a diagnosis of dementia, motor neuron disease, Parkinson's disease or Multiple Sclerosis, OR they will have no diagnosis of a neurological condition. Researchers will compare people with a diagnosis of a Neurological condition to those without.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses a digital app to monitor changes in speech and general health over time in people with neurological conditions — and in healthy volunteers for comparison. Researchers hope speech patterns captured by the app could serve as early markers of disease progression. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease, Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, or Parkinson's Disease, OR - You are a carer or family member of someone with one of these conditions, OR - You are a healthy volunteer without neurological conditions - You are 16 or older **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 16 years old - You have significant uncorrected visual or hearing impairment - You lack the cognitive capacity to consent to or use the app Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
