Smartphones and smartwatches along with signal processing and machine learning can facilitate frequent, remote, reliable and objective assessments of PD from patients' homes.<h4>Aim</h4>To investigate the feasibility, compliance and user experience of passively and actively measuring symptoms from home environments using data from sensors embedded in smartphones and a wrist-wearable device.<h4>Methods and analysis</h4>In an ongoing clinical feasibility study, participants with a confirmed PD diagnosis are being recruited. Participants perform activity tests, including Timed Up and GoBMJ openQuantifying Parkinson's disease severity using mobile wearable devices and machine learning: the ParkApp pilot study protocol.PMC10759062NAYmeri GSalvi DOlsson CMTsanas ASvenningsson PWassenburg MVfalseQuantifying Parkinson's disease severity using mobile wearable devices and machine learning: the ParkApp pilot study protocol.<h4>Introduction</h4>The clinical assessment of Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms can present reliability issues and, with visits typically spaced apart 6 months, can hardly capture their frequent variability.
