Building Africa's First
Parkinson's Disease Registry
A secure, collaborative platform where clinicians across the continent record and contribute standardized patient data — powering research that will transform movement disorder care in Africa.
The Data Gap in African Neurology
Parkinson's disease and movement disorders affect millions across Africa, yet the continent contributes less than 1% of global research data.
This invisibility has real consequences: clinical trials rarely include African populations, treatment protocols aren't tailored to local genetics, and disease patterns remain undocumented and unstudied.
PMAN exists to change this. By creating a unified, standardized data repository, we're ensuring African patients are seen, counted, and represented in global research.
Clinical Trials Exclusion
African populations are systematically underrepresented in Parkinson's research trials.
Generic Protocols
Treatment guidelines don't account for genetic and environmental factors unique to Africa.
Undocumented Patterns
Disease progression and prevalence data across African populations remains largely unknown.
