Adam Lockhart, founder of ParkinSense, has been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship to advance the development of a digital early-detection platform for Parkinson's Disease.
The Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship supports engineers translating innovative technologies into scalable ventures with societal impact. The programme provides funding, mentorship and commercialisation support to help bridge the gap between technical development and real-world deployment.
ParkinSense is being developed to address delays and inefficiencies in the current Parkinson's diagnostic pathway. The platform uses structured digital assessments combined with machine learning to support identification of Parkinson's Disease at its early stages in an accessible, low cost, non invasive method.
The Fellowship was awarded through a highly competitive national selection process, providing strong external validation of ParkinSense's direction and potential. Adam has already begun participating in training events in London through the Academy, gaining practical insight into venture building, regulatory strategy and commercial development. In the coming months, he will be matched with an experienced mentor to support the next stage of growth and translation.
The focus now is on building robust evidence and ensuring the technology is responsibly integrated into real-world healthcare pathways and can have maximum impact.
