Functional neurological disorder (FND) describes a problem with how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body.

Prof Kia Nazarpour spoke at a workshop hosted by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). The workshop was designed to foster a creative and inclusive environment where people with functional neurological disorders, healthcare professionals, researchers, technologists, and other relevant experts can work together to design and refine digital tools that support self-management, address the treatment gap, and improve the quality of life for those affected by functional neurological disorders.

Prof Nazarpour shared the work in the MoveR hub on wearable and non-wearable technologies for quantifying movement.
