Teach for India fellow Aditya KV in New Delhi made the decision to leave his corporate position in order to make a bigger impact. He established “Umoya Sports” in 2017 with the intention of inspiring one million pupils, both those with special needs and those without.

According to an algorithm, changed speech may be a precursor to Parkinson’s disease.

After Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative condition. Each year, more than 10 million people worldwide obtain a diagnosis.

Parkinson’s disease’s fundamental mechanisms are still not completely known. Constipation, apathy, and daytime sleepiness are some of the decades-long non-specific symptoms that accompany PD. Late in the course of neurodegeneration, motor symptoms such as tremors, freezing, and lightheadedness manifest.

Early symptom recognition could enable early management, resulting in extended periods of unaffected functional capacity and prolonged quality of life.

Recent years have been a rise in scientific interest in speech acoustic analysis in PD as a potential diagnostic biomarker. According to studies, persons with early PD have a variety of speech difficulties.
