Parkinsons Voice Initiative

Hi guys,
Just been reading this article on the BBC...

This sort of thing is a great example of using technology to good effect in my opinion, and the man responsible is a Brit. They aren't after money either (although I'm sure they wouldn't say no) but they are after your voice. A 5 min anonymous national rate call, regardless of whether you are healthy or suffering from Parkinsons will help them to build up their database and make diagnosis more accurate.
Please visit www.parkinsonsvoice.org for more info and the number to call if you want to help.
Currently UK, USA, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Spain and Argentina all of a local number set up.
