After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019, the BBC’s technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones resolved to make investigating the disease part of his journalism. As his health began to worsen he grew ever more frustrated by the glacial pace at which trials of promising drugs proceeded – a cure always seemed to be five years away. But hearing an interview with the founder of the AI company Google DeepMind gave him new hope. Demis Hassabis predicted that AI’s next trick might be to ‘solve all disease’ within 10 to 15 years. AI promises a revolution in healthcare but will it come soon enough for Rory and the 150,000 people in the UK living with Parkinson’s?The Parkinson's Puzzle chronicles Rory’s journey as he battles his condition, but it will be more than just a personal story. Through its reporting of developments in artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies, and its interviews with leading scientists and doctors in the field of AI and Parkinson’s, the book gives readers some important insights into the healthcare revolution for everything from cancer to dementia, that will change all of our lives.
