Article Synopsis
- People with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps often experience changes in their blood sugar levels, which may be due to how insulin spreads under their skin.
- A new method was developed to study how insulin moves in the skin by using special imaging and measuring pressure in real-time.
- The study found that most insulin was delivered under the skin correctly, but some errors occurred, like air bubbles forming, and this method can help improve how insulin is given in the future.
Body-worn sensors (BWS) could provide valuable information in the management of Parkinson's disease and support therapeutic decisions based on objective monitoring. To study this pivotal step and better understand how relevant information is extracted from BWS results and translated into treatment adaptation, eight neurologists examined eight virtual cases composed of basic patient profiles and their BWS monitoring results. Sixty-four interpretations of monitoring results and the subsequent therapeutic decisions were collected.

Users' perceptions of BWS have not been explored. This study intended to evaluate the usability, user experience (UX), patients' perceptions of BWS, and health professionals' (HP) opinions on BWS monitoring.

Data from consecutive advanced Parkinson's disease patients treated in routine care were retrospectively collected over 24 months after CSAI initiation, with a focus on the 39-item Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39). We determined predictors of CSAI discontinuation and HRQoL improvement using multiple regression analysis.
