Could Music Help Folks with Parkinson’s Disease Walk Better?

Imagine if music could help people with Parkinson’s walk better — safer, faster, longer, and more freely. At Boston University’s Center for Neurorehabilitation, professor Terry Ellis is investigating the benefits of a wearable system that uses foot sensors to track walking and trigger rhythmic music in real time. Ellis' hope is that this kind of accessible, home-based therapy could transform mobility and independence for millions living with Parkinson’s.

Strengthening Nutrition With Women and Children

IN OCTOBER 2024, just weeks after joining Sargent, Hayford Avedzi was back in his native Ghana to speak at the 9th Africa Nutrition Conference in Cape Coast. Avedzi, a clinical assistant professor of health sciences and member of Sargent’s Global Health Nutrition Lab, was presenting his results from a trial of a digital health tool that delivers nutrition advice to people with diabetes. A member of the audience was intrigued—and wanted to know if the same approach could be adapted to help women and children in Ghana.
