Apple Watch Parkinson Disease Symptom Monitor Is Cleared.

Symptom Monitor Is Cleared A program that uses motion sensors built into the Apple Watch to monitor symptoms of Parkinson disease gained FDA clearance. In addition to recording tremors and uncontrolled body movements, or dyskinesia, the StrivePD software from Rune Labs tracks medication use, adverse events, and patient-reported outcomes such as mood and overall health. When integrated with the Medtronic Percept PC Deep Brain Stimulator, it may also gather detailed brain activity information, a company statement noted. The software device enables continuous monitoring of typically fluctuating signs and symptoms of Parkinson disease. This creates a comprehensive view of disease progression that isn’t possible with periodic in-clinic observations. Such data could be used to identify patients earlier in the course of their disease and tailor treatment more quickly, according to the statement. “When people with Parkinson's are prescribed new medications, adjusting how much to take and when to take it...can be a lengthy process. StrivePD helps people to track their symptoms and improvements, accelerating the time to an optimal medication schedule,” Aura Oslapas, who created the StrivePD app based on her own experience with Parkinson disease, said in the statement. Oslapas serves as a member of Rune Labs’ patient advisory board. The software also could accelerate clinical trials by providing granular real-world data that would help select patients for studies, define trial end points, and accurately measure therapy impact, according to Rune Labs.
