We are seeking volunteers who have been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease (HD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The purpose of this study is to establish biomarkers for both speech and language deficiencies in neurodegenerative diseases using a Speech application. This is an exploratory study to determine whether markers of speech and language are able to distinguish participants and healthy controls or capture disease progression. A key secondary aim is to determine whether these speech and language biomarkers are associated with cognitive changes in these participants.
Inclusion Criteria
- Age 18 and older
- Have been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease (HD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Exclusion Criteria
- Individuals with any other form of dysarthria not related to HD, PD, or MCI (acquired, developmental or trauma-related)
Other inclusion and exclusion criteria apply. For more information, contact Áine Russell at 617-667-2351 or arussel2@bidmc.harvard.edu
