Health Innovators: Teresa Arroyo-Gallego, nQ Medical

In this episode of our Health Innovators series, Paul Tunnah is joined by Teresa Arroyo-Gallego, chief data scientist at artificial intelligence technology company nQ Medical.

nQ Medical is developing technology to detect early signs of motor decline in diseases like Parkinson’s by monitoring how people type on their phones or computers. The company hope the technology can be applied to other disease areas including ALS, Alzheimer’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.

In this interview, Teresa tells Paul about the science behind the technology and how it could reshape the future of cognitive screening. She also discusses her views on AI, machine learning and digitalisation of healthcare, particularly in the wake of COVID and shares how digital platforms such as nQ Medical's technology could be used by patients in everyday life.
