With little research being carried out on the impact of COVID-19 on the Parkinson’s community, Fox Insight, the online Parkinson’s clinical study, have launched their ‘COVID study’ designed to capture experiences from people with and without Parkinson’s disease.
Fox Insight participants complete study visits — online surveys about health, symptoms and lifestyle factors — every three months. By joining, you can also complete special one-time surveys about topics of particular relevance in Parkinson’s, such as the impact of COVID-19 on the Parkinson’s community.
