SMART-PD: Evaluating the Impact of Smartphone-Based Wearable Technology on Motor Symptoms and Quality of Life in People With Parkinson's Disease

Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to evaluate whether wearable technology can improve the management of motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who experience motor fluctuations throughout the day. The project will use a smartwatch and mobile app (KinesiaU) to continuously track movement, allowing for more responsive and personalized treatment compared to traditional monitoring methods. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, 32 participants will be assigned to either: A control group receiving standard care, or A wearable device group receiving standard care plus using the smartwatch. Outcomes will be assessed over a 4-week period, focusing on changes in motor function, quality of life, and self-management. The study will also examine feasibility, adherence, and data quality. If successful, this trial will provide critical evidence for integrating wearable devices into routine clinical care for PD, paving the way for larger efficacy trials and more patient-centered care strategies.
