We sought to evaluate the diagnostic concordance between video-based vs self-reported diagnoses of multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia with Lewy bodies, and corticobasal syndrome. We also assessed patient satisfaction with video-based visits.

We enrolled 7 ambulatory individuals to have the device installed in the bedroom of their homes over 8 weeks and performed standard PD assessments at baseline. We evaluated the ability of the device to objectively measure gait and time in bed and to generate novel visualizations of home activity.

Methods: Therefore, we surveyed clinicians whose patients with Parkinson's disease had participated in a national randomized controlled trial of video visits to determine (1) whether clinicians received recommendations from remote specialists; (2) whether those recommendations were implemented; (3) what barriers to specialty care local clinicians perceived; and (4) whether they would recommend video visits.
Results: Of 183 clinicians surveyed, 89 (49%) responded.
