BINYAMINA, Israel, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Montfort (Mon4t), an innovative medical startup introduces its real-time, remote neurological monitor.
Montfort s FDA-cleared solution leverages smartphone technology, big-data and AI to conduct digital neurological tests for patients with conditions such as Parkinson s disease, Huntington s disease, psychiatric disorders (like schizophrenia), as well as for patients with Post-COVID19 symptoms, some of which are similar to those observed in neurological conditions.
