On Wednesday, 2nd of September, Liv Preßer, interviewed us about or research on Parkinson speech analysis and corresponding therapy. The story appeared in Liv's podcast called "Was steckt dahinter". If you would like to hear it, please have a look on this website. Beside this website there are a couple of further possibilities: e.g. search for "Was steckt dahinter" on spotify.

Beside Liv Presser and Gerhard Schmidt, also Corina Maetzler (from the geriatrics department of the university hospital here in Kiel (UKHS) and Heidi Nebel from the neurologic department (also UKSH) participated in the podcast recording. Together, we reported on our research results, the probelms that we faced when conduction our experiments and patient recordings, and on our future plans.

More details on Liv's podcast can be found here.
