Can a Wrist-Worn tracker improve Parkinson's care?
NCT ID NCT03741920
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a wrist-worn movement recorder, called the Personal KinetiGraph (PKG), helps doctors make better treatment decisions for people with Parkinson's disease. About 231 participants will be split into two groups: one where the doctor sees the PKG data during the visit, and one where they do not. The goal is to see if having this movement data leads to more medication changes or adjustments.
