Smart sensor could help Parkinson's patients move better
NCT ID NCT04176302
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tested a wearable device called STAT-ON, which automatically records when Parkinson's patients have trouble moving ('Off' periods) and when they move well ('On' periods). The goal was to see if giving this detailed information to doctors helps them adjust medication more effectively than standard office visits or patient diaries. The study involved 173 people with moderate to severe Parkinson's disease who experience motor fluctuations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Parkinson Holter (STAT-ON) wearable device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could give doctors detailed, objective data on motor fluctuations, helping them fine-tune medication to reduce 'Off' periods and improve daily mobility.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed trial with 173 participants, but the device is still a tool to aid decisions, not a treatment itself. It may not lead to better outcomes than standard care or patient diaries.
