Working life: A day in the life of physiotherapist Ciara Clancy

With an international customer base, I’ve an early start at our office in Sandyford to keep up with queries from across the globe. Our product is a smartphone app for people with Parkinson’s disease. In a healthy brain, a signal goes off to cue us to walk but in someone with Parkinson’s, this mechanism is impaired. The Beats App can overcome this impairment by delivering a prescribed sound signal to the patient each day that generates the correct impulses to help the person walk normally.
