Patient Acceptability and Technical Reliability of Wearable Devices Used for Monitoring People With Parkinson Disease: Survey Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parkinson disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with complex motor and nonmotor symptoms. To assess these, clinical assessments are completed, providing a snapshot of a person's experience. Monitoring Parkinson disease using wearable devices can provide continuous and objective data and capture information on movement patterns in daily life.

Objective

The aim of the study is to assess patient acceptability and technical reliability of 2 wearable devices used in clinical trials (ActivInsights and Axivity AX3).

Methods

Participants in a feasibility study testing a self-management toolkit (PD-Care) optionally wore a wearable device for 1 week, providing feedback through an open- and closed-question survey conducted over the telephone about the ac
