AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of smartwatch sensors for assessing tremors compared to traditional neurological evaluations in 142 Parkinson's disease patients and 77 healthy individuals.
- The research found that using a Tremor Occurrence Score from smartwatches can improve the accuracy of tremor assessments.
- This method could be beneficial not only in clinical environments but also for monitoring patients at home.
Article Abstract
We addressed the limitations of subjective clinical tremor assessment by comparing routine neurological evaluation with a Tremor Occurrence Score derived from smartwatch sensor data, among 142 participants with Parkinson disease and 77 healthy controls. Our findings highlight the potential of smartwatches for automated tremor detection as a valuable addition to conventional assessments, applicable in both clinical and home settings.
