Summary

This study will test whether wearable sensors can accurately monitor movement problems in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). About 60 participants will wear small sensors on their chest, ankles, and wrists while doing simple tasks like walking and hand movements, both in the clinic and at home for 14 days. The goal is to see if these sensors can provide reliable, at-home monitoring that could be used in future clinical trials for these rare brain diseases.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
wearable sensors (PAMSys pendant, ankle, and wrist sensors)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could enable frequent, at-home monitoring of disease symptoms, making future clinical trials more efficient and less burdensome for patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage validation study with only 60 participants, so the sensors may not prove accurate or practical for widespread use. The results are observational and won't directly treat or cure the disease.
