About

This a usability study of a wearable sensor platform that utilizes a smartwatch to periodically record motion data. That data is processed in a connected smartphone and translated into symptom scores for dyskinesia, slowness, and tremor. The research subjects will use the wearable system over the course of five weeks, during which a change in therapy regimen is prescribed by the physician. Research analysis will be focused on patient and clinician experiences with the app and its reports.
