Video-based Parkinson's disease assessments in a nationwide cohort of Fox Insight participants.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Parkinson's disease (PD) research is hampered by slow, inefficient recruitment and burdensome in-person assessments that may be challenging to conduct in a world affected by COVID-19. Fox Insight is an ongoing prospective clinical research study that enables individuals to participate in clinical research from their own homes by completing online questionnaires. To date, over 45,000 participants with and without PD have enrolled. We sought to validate self-reported PD diagnosis in the Fox Insight cohort, assess the validity of other self-reported health information, and evaluate the willingness of participants to participate in video-based research studies.

Methods

Individuals with and without self-reported PD enrolled in Fox Insight were invited to participate
