About the Expert
Biography
Synapticure’s Parkinson’s care team is led by neurologist Dr. Jaime Hatcher-Martin. For over a decade, Dr. Martin has been caring for people with neurodegenerative diseases, specializing in movement disorders like Parkinson’s. With this insight, she recognized the unique burdens on her Parkinson’s patients. Coupled with the fact that many people living with Parkinson’s have no access to specialists, she became a leading advocate to partner telemedicine with expert neurological care.
Prior to joining Synapticure, Dr. Martin practiced at Emory University where she started her own telemedicine clinic for patients with movement disorders in Georgia in 2016, and later at SOC Telemed (now Access Telecare). She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, served as co-Chair for their Telemedicine Workgroup, where she co-authored their practice guidelines. She also serves on the Telemedicine Study Group for the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society and serves on several committees for the Huntington Study Group. Dr. Martin continues to be involved in research related to understanding the toxic exposures that cause or contribute to the meteoric rise in the incidence of Parkinson's Disease.
