Newcastle University spinout Gnosis Health has developed MAXine, an AI-powered app that helps people with Parkinson’s understand and manage their condition between hospital appointments.

A fuller picture

Rather than relying on the occasional snapshot clinicians get during a visit, MAXine brings together information from patients, carers and wearable devices. People can ask questions about their own data, and clinical teams get a much clearer view of how symptoms change over time.

The project grew out of research at Newcastle University and has been developed with support from KPMG. More than 1,000 people across England now use it.

Backed by the spinout fund

Gnosis Health, a spinout of the universities of Newcastle and Plymouth, was one of the first companies backed by the North East Spinout Inspire Fund, receiving £250,000 to support the development and launch of MAXine.
