Mehran Turna

Dr. Mehran Turna is a Researcher at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-7: Brain and Behavior) within the Research Center Jülich, Germany. His work focuses on developing digital biomarker platforms and sensor-based technologies for remote monitoring of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Key contributions include the JTrack platform, which enables ecological momentary assessment and behavioral tracking in clinical settings. His research addresses Parkinson’s disease, autism spectrum disorder, and neuropsychiatric disease progression through wearable sensors and smartphone-based diagnostics.

His academic background includes early contributions to fMRI-based brain activity classification (2013–2014) and a transition to digital health solutions since 2020. He collaborates on open-source neuro-medicine software infrastructure and evaluates sensor systems for gait analysis and home-based rehabilitation. Dr. Turna’s work bridges clinical neuroscience with telemedicine innovations, emphasizing cross-platform applications and data reliability in remote patient monitoring.
