 The article discusses how scientists have developed a new computer keyboard that can detect Parkinson's disease through typing patterns. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University created an algorithm that analyzes keystroke dynamics to identify people with Parkinson's disease. The study found that the algorithm was able to accurately diagnose Parkinson's disease in 85% of cases, even when participants were not showing symptoms. The researchers believe that this technology could be used as a tool for early diagnosis and monitoring of Parkinson's disease.
