First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app can reliably detect and track movement symptoms in people with early or full Parkinson's disease. Over one year, 230 participants (including those with a sleep disorder that often leads to Parkinson's, Parkinson's patients, and healthy volunteers) used a phone app for daily tests and movement tracking. The study also checked if a skin biopsy could detect abnormal proteins linked to Parkinson's. The goal was to find better ways to monitor the disease and diagnose it earlier.
