Beats Medical

Beats Medical aims to empower people with Parkinson's in their care by providing them the tools to take control.

Our award winning solution provides exercises based on allied health therapies for mobility, speech and dexterity symptoms.

Beats Medical Mission

It was while working with people with Parkinsons that Ciara realised the need for a product that could improve mobility and independent management, something which was not currently available in the market. Ciara felt that Beats Medical could make lasting changes to people’s lives by researching and developing a new technology to treat Parkinson’s. Together with an experienced team Beats Medical was founded, a company dedicated to research and development of technology solutions for chronic neurological disorders. From our clinics in Dublin and in Harley Street London Beats Medical is dedicated to conquering the mobility symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. It is Ciara and Wui-Mei’s dream to enable people with Parkinson’s to have the tools they need to take control of their condition. They wish to empower people with Parkinson’s, improving the quality of life for those affected and the people closest to them.

As a physiotherapist caring for people with Parkinson’s Ciara witnessed the impact that Parkinson’s can have not only on the people diagnosed but their families too. Physiotherapy can have a great impact on disease management and reducing symptoms of Parkinson’s, but currently these treatments are only available in the clinic setting. Ciara wanted to hand back control to people with Parkinson’s and provide them with disease management techniques in the home.
