Summary

This study compares the validity and usability of smartphone software for home monitoring of symptoms and signs in Parkinson's disease as compared to the current clinical gold standard - the Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale.

Detailed description

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition, which when treated can result in fluctuating motor activity - sometimes too much movement, sometimes too little. A series of tests, run on a smartphone, will be used to evaluate the motor signs of Parkinson's and related to a clinical evaluation based on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. 60 participants will be recruited.

Conditions

• Parkinson's Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	CloudUPDRS smartphone software assessment	Smartphone software consisting of a series of tapping and tremor-measurement tests designed to measure a subset of the UPDRS.
OTHER	Clinical assessment	A clinician will assess the motor signs of the participant using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. The examination will be videoed and rated by 3 blinded examiners.
