AI-Generated Voice

– help for people living with PSP

Parkinson's Awareness Month

This week, we’re sharing an article from Brain and Life magazine entitled Former Representative Jennifer Wexton Breaks Barriers with AI-Generated Voice Amid PSP Battle.

Jennifer shares her journey from suspecting something wasn’t right, to diagnosis, to co-sponsoring the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act. She also explains how she uses AI to overcome the difficulties she has speaking, and how it enables her to continue to share her story and advocate for people living with similar challenges.

We were grateful that Jessica Shurer with CurePSP could speak to our Health Care Professionals conference on March 21 about the atypical parkinsonism syndromes, including Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Jessica and CurePSP are also partnering with IPMDC to share information about PSP, MSA, and CBD, at our outreach events and Parkinson Friends groups.

April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day

World Parkinson's Day

On this World Parkinson’s Day our message to you is that you are not alone. There is a worldwide community of people on a similar journey to yours.

Until there’s a cure there is hope, and people can not only live well with Parkinson’s but THRIVE with Parkinson’s. Learn more about how we can help through our educational, wellness and supportive programs by exploring this website.

Parkinson's Awareness Month

Every year in April, organizations around the world join together to increase awareness and understanding about Parkinson’s.

In March, Inova Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center (IPMDC) held two in-person conferences:
• The first to educate health care professionals in senior living so they could understand the basics to providing a higher level of care.
• The second brought together patients, families and friends to hear the latest in Parkinson’s care, and connect with IPMDC program and community partners.

Did you know that 2025 marks IPMDC’s 10th anniversary?
Until there’s a cure, IPMDC will continue to provide you with up to date information through our programs. We invite you to explore ipmdc.org where you’ll find online libraries on topics for recently diagnosed, care partners, the Parkinson Journey, and exercise, including Zumba Gold for Parkinson’s. Also healthy eating, thinking and behavior, organizing, and more. Throughout April, we will continue to highlight our programs and resources.
