T.I.M.I.N.G. PROTOCOL
Advancing Emergency Care for People Living with Parkinson's
The T.I.M.I.N.G. Protocol is a first-of-its-kind emergency care framework designed to help EMS providers and emergency department teams better recognize and respond to the unique needs of people living with Parkinson's disease.
Developed by Advanced EMT and Parkinson's advocate Eric Aquino, the protocol provides a practical six-step approach that emphasizes medication timing, symptom recognition, patient-centered communication, and continuity of care during emergencies.
The protocol made its scientific debut at the 2026 Advanced Therapeutics in Movement & Related Disorders (ATMRD) Congress in Washington, D.C., where Aquino presented it to movement disorder specialists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the country.
As Parkinson's diagnoses continue to rise, the T.I.M.I.N.G. Protocol aims to bridge a critical gap between emergency medicine and Parkinson's care - helping providers deliver more informed, coordinated, and effective treatment when every minute matters.
