WATCH-PD uses three technologies
Iphone, apple watch, and APDM wearable sensors
iPhone
iPhone applications can provide a convenient, comfortable way to frequently report symptoms and see how you’re doing. During the study, we’ll ask you to track your symptoms and perform motor and cognitive assessments on the phone.
Apple Watch
The Apple Watch has many sensors that can detect tremor, gait, balance, and other features of movement. During the study, we’ll ask you to complete a set of motor activities while wearing the watch.
APDM Wearable Sensors
APDM Opal sensors make up a state-of-the-art system for measuring many aspects of your movement. At study visits, we’ll ask you to complete a set of motor activities while wearing the sensors.
