Digital Technologies in Movement Disorders: Volume 5

Dr. Sanchez Ferro specialized in neurology at the Hospital 12 de Octubre in Madrid (Spain). In the same center, he was trained specifically for the management of Parkinson's disease thanks to a program of the Carlos III Research Institute (Rio Hortega Program). During this period, he visited prestigious centers such as the "Hertie Institut" in Tuebingen (Germany) and the "MINDS laboratory" from Harvard University where he also received training in neurodegenerative diseases. In 2013, Dr. Sanchez Ferro received a scholarship from a program of the Community of Madrid and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, USA) to be part of a biomedical innovation program. As part of it, he developed new methods for the objective quantification of Parkinson's disease signs. Currently, Dr. Sanchez-Ferro continues applying these skills in his position as neurologist and researcher at 12 de Octubre Hospital and Chief Medical Officer of Leuko Labs. He is also Director of the Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program at the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society (MDS) and is an active member of the Technology Study Group of the MDS Society.

Dr Monje specialized in neurology at the Hospital Clinico San Carlos in Madrid (Spain). She received her PhD in Neuroscience from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid working in a progressive model of Parkinson's disease in non-human primate. She posteriorly pursued a clinical and research fellowship in Movement in HM-CINAC, where she got experience in new technologies for the objective quantification of movement disorders. Currently, Dr. Monje works as postdoctoral scholar in Northwestern University, Chicago (USA). She is the co-Chair of the Electronic Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program at the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society (MDS).
