Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →Researchers at McGill University are developing a new way to test thinking and memory skills in people with Parkinson's disease using online computers, rather than only in-person clinic visits. This pilot study will check whether online cognitive testing is accurate, reliable, and practical for large numbers of participants. The goal is to create a flexible testing platform that can be used for future Parkinson's research.
Online cognitive testing is already used successfully in mental health research, but no one has yet developed a reliable system for Parkinson's disease research. This study fills that gap by showing whether online testing can work well and produce trustworthy results for people with Parkinson's.

You will complete online cognitive tests—thinking and memory exercises—either from home or at the research location, depending on the study arm you join. Some participants will do both online and in-person testing so researchers can compare the results and verify the online tests are accurate. The study is still recruiting participants, and the exact time commitment will depend on how many tests are included in the final protocol.
