Can a smartwatch help manage Parkinson's symptoms?
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if using a smartwatch-like device to track your movements and medication can improve motor symptoms and quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a movement disorder specialist.
- You experience motor fluctuations (times when your medication wears off and symptoms return).
- You are able to use a wearable device (like a smartwatch) and its app.
- You can manage daily activities and use the device with help if needed (per your doctor).
- You can read and write in English to enter medication details in the app.

This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) system on your smartphone to see how your Parkinson's disease progresses and how you respond to medications. The goal is to help doctors better personalize your care.
This study uses a smartphone app and a smartwatch to track movement and other signs over time to see if it can help spot early signs of Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have certain risk factors but do not yet have a Parkinson's diagnosis.
This trial tests if using a wearable sensor can help doctors better adjust Parkinson's medications to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms are not well controlled). It is for people with Parkinson's who have been on levodopa for at least 4 years and experience ups and downs in their movement control.
This study tests a wearable sensor that tracks tremor and other health details. It could help doctors better understand and manage movement symptoms for people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor.
This study tests a wrist-worn device that uses gentle vibrations to help regulate brain activity in people with Parkinson's. It aims to improve symptoms, especially for those who may be sensitive to medication timing.
This study tests a special sleeve that measures and tracks Parkinson's movement symptoms like stiffness, shaking, and slowness. It aims to see if the sleeve can help monitor your condition at home.
