Collaboration with UNSW
We are proud to collaborate with the University of NSW, which is developing a cutting-edge device to enhance walking for people with Parkinson’s Disease. This lightweight ankle band, worn on each leg, provides real-time feedback to assist with walking. Lady Davidson Private will serve as the Clinical Trial Centre for this promising device starting in 2025, supported by the NHMRC Development Grant.
