Mr. Henderson's appointment as CEO follows several exciting announcements for Global Kinetics. In January 2023, the PKG was reported by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) in the UK to reliably measure bradykinesia and dyskinesia and other movement disorder measures, and provide useful information that leads to significant improvement in clinical management for patients. NICE cited the extensive clinical evidence using the PKG System compared to other wearables which was reported to lead to clinical improvements for patients when compared to standard management, in terms of reductions in UPDRS scores, the standard Parkinson's Disease rating scale. Therefore, NICE supports the use of the PKG as a complement to clinical care in both clinical and remote settings. The PKG System is already being used extensively across the NHS in the United Kingdom by over 35 sites. This NICE announcement follows the December 2022 publication, Measurement of Bradykinesia and Chorea in Huntington's Disease using Ambulatory Monitoring which used the PKG System to correlate UHDRS, the standard Huntington's Disease rating scale, clinical measures to the PKG scores. The study reported a strong correlation between clinical chorea scores and the PKG dyskinesia score among other findings.
