Is it possible to repair the brain in Parkinson's disease? In this special webinar, we are joined by Professor Roger Barker from the University of Cambridge to answer that very question.

Professor Barker is a global leader in cell-based therapies and a Principal Investigator at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. In this talk, he breaks down the science of replacing lost dopamine cells, the history of fetal tissue transplants, and the exciting new era of stem cell trials.

He discusses the potential for a "one-off" treatment that could restore dopamine levels to normal, the challenges of past trials, and what the future holds for people living with Parkinson's today.

About the Speaker: Professor Roger Barker is a Professor of Clinical Neuroscience and Consultant Neurologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. He leads the Stem-PD clinical trial and is a central figure in the global G-Force PD consortium, working to bring stem cell therapies to the clinic.

Join Beatrice from PD Buddy and Curaleaf UK experts Dr Mark Weatherall and Dr Simon Erridge for a clear and practical discussion on medical cannabis in Parkinson’s care.

Interest in medical cannabis is growing among people with Parkinson’s, but so is confusion. Many people with Parkinson's are unsure about what cannabis can help with, how to access it legally, or why some products work while others don’t.

To bring clarity, Beatrice, the founder of the PD Buddy app, invited two specialists from Curaleaf UK for a straightforward discussion focused on real-life concerns: Which symptoms might cannabis help? What’s the difference between medical and recreational products? How do you know what dose or format is right? What are the risks? How does someone begin the process of getting a prescription?

Throughout the session, the conversation stays practical and grounded in everyday challenges faced by people with Parkinson’s — sleep, pain, stiffness, and overall quality of life. The goal is not to promote cannabis, but to provide reliable information so people can make safer, better-informed choices.

Medical cannabis is regulated very differently around the world. What is allowed, and how it is prescribed, varies widely. Nothing we discuss today should be taken as medical or legal advice, and we encourage everyone to check the rules in their own country, state or region.

In this interview, Beatrice Zatorska, Founder of PD Buddy app sits down with Scott McLeod, co-founder of StrydAR, to explore their groundbreaking Parkinson’s Walking Glasses. These glasses use Visual Cueing technology, inspired by fighter pilot helmets, to help people with Parkinson’s overcome common mobility challenges such as freezing of gait, slowness, and balance issues.

We cover everything from how the holographic cue works, what symptoms it targets, and how quickly people notice improvements in walking, posture, and confidence. Scott explains when and how to use the glasses, whether prescription lenses are needed, and what the cost and trial options look like.

The conversation also dives into personal stories from users, unexpected benefits like improved confidence and mental well-being, and what’s next for StrydAR — including upcoming trials and new features.

If you or someone you know is living with Parkinson’s and struggling with walking or freezing, this interview offers practical insight into an innovative tool designed to make daily life safer and more independent.
