Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →This study is testing a new way to monitor Parkinson's disease symptoms using tools you might already be familiar with — an activity tracker (like a Fitbit) that you wear on your wrist, and video recordings of simple movements you do at home. Instead of visiting the clinic frequently, researchers want to see if they can track how your symptoms are changing by collecting data from your activity tracker and analyzing videos of your movements, all from the comfort of your home.
Parkinson's disease symptoms can change over time, and doctors need to monitor patients regularly to adjust treatment and catch changes early. However, frequent clinic visits can be difficult and costly. This study explores whether using everyday technology can give doctors a clearer picture of how you're doing without requiring as many in-person appointments.

If you join, you'll start with a baseline visit where you'll complete some simple tests — answering questions about your quality of life, doing some movement tasks that will be recorded on an iPad, and having your speech and tongue strength assessed. You'll then receive an activity tracker and wear it at home for 4 weeks, and a study team member will help you set it up. After 4 weeks, you'll have a brief video call to record a few more movement tasks. The study team will check in with you if they notice you're not wearing the tracker, and the entire process takes about a month.
