UF research helps establish new FDA pathway for Parkinson’s diagnostics
A University of Florida–led study has helped secure FDA De Novo classification for an AI-powered imaging tool designed to assist in diagnosing early-stage Parkinson’s disease. Developed by Neuropacs™ Corp., the diffusion MRI-based software uses machine learning to distinguish Parkinson’s from similar neurodegenerative conditions with overlapping symptoms. Led by UF researcher David Vaillancourt, the multi-site study provided clinical evidence supporting the tool’s safety and effectiveness. The approval marks a major translational milestone, establishing a new category of diagnostic technology and highlighting the impact of UF research, federal funding and academic-industry collaboration.

Palm trees line a sunny beach scene with a crowd of people relaxing on sand and under umbrellas beside the ocean. In the center, a road sign reads “North A1A” beneath a Florida Scenic Highway marker. The sky is clear blue, and the water stretches to the horizon with boats visible in the distance.
Smarter Shores Ahead: Using Drone Intelligence to Protect Florida’s Coastlines This Summer
As Florida enters peak summer season, new research highlights how drone technology is transforming coastal safety. From detecting sharks in nearshore waters to monitoring harmful algal blooms like red tide, drones provide real-time visibility and faster response capabilities for beach managers. Led by University of Florida researcher Dr. Rachel J.C. Fu, the work emphasizes a shift from reactive safety measures to proactive, data-driven prevention. By combining aerial surveillance, public alerts and predictive mapping, these systems help protect beachgoers while maintaining access to coastal spaces during high-traffic months.
