Digital Health Assessments May Improve Parkinson Disease Diagnosis
Results from the 12-month, multicenter, observational study, WATCH-PD, were recently published in the journal Nature. The researchers found significant associations between digital biomarkers with a wearable device and conventional clinical scoring methods used in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Working with Clinical Ink to gather the real-world data for their research, the scientists provided evidence on different digital measures gathered from smart devices for the detection of motor and non-motor features in patients with early-stage PD. In the gait analysis, smart device data from participants with PD revealed...
