TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The development and deployment of disease-modifying interventions for Parkinson's disease (PD) have been limited due to a lack of objective, accurate and reliable measures of progression. As such, the adoption of digital technologies has increased in recent years with the intent to overcome the poor sensitivity of conventional rating scales currently used as the gold standard in clinical trials. However, natural history studies incorporating digital motor endpoints in PD are sparse. Excitingly, data recently published from key longitudinal studies reveal cutting-edge evidence demonstrating that digital endpoints of motor progression are more sensitive than conventional clinical scales.

Key Points: 
  • The featured speakers will discuss how (by capturing a composite score of digital measures of bradykinesia with wearable sensors) a better signal of disease progression can be obtained compared to independent measurements.
  • Attendees will gain insights into the future directions of wearable sensors and digital motor endpoints in clinical trials to monitor the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
