Using a smartphone app to assess Parkinson's disease risk
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a smartphone app and a smartwatch to see if it can help predict the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have certain early signs that might be linked to Parkinson's, but who don't have the disease yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 50 years old.
- You must have at least one of these: a sleep disorder (acting out dreams), a drop in blood pressure when standing, or a reduced sense of smell.
- You can't have a Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
- You can't be taking Parkinson's medications (except for certain low-dose restless leg syndrome drugs).
- You need an Android phone (version 11 or newer).

This trial tests whether using wearable sensors can help doctors adjust Parkinson's medications more precisely to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms worsen or improve unpredictably). It might help you have more stable symptom control throughout the day.
This study uses a smartphone app to track your symptoms and help predict how your medication affects you over time. It aims to improve treatment for people living with Parkinson's disease.
This study tests whether using a smartphone and wearable device helps people with Parkinson's disease track their symptoms and improve their quality of life. You will use the device to log your medications and symptoms.
This study tests whether a specific amount of exercise can slow the development of Parkinson's disease in people who have a sleep condition called iRBD. If you have iRBD and are not very active, researchers will help you start a personalized exercise program and track your progress with a smartphone app.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can slow the early stages of Parkinson's disease in people who have a genetic risk (LRRK2 or GBA variants). You will use a smartphone app to guide your exercise from home.
This study tests if increasing physical activity can help slow down cognitive (thinking) decline in people with iRBD, a sleep disorder that often leads to Parkinson's or dementia. You'll use a smartphone and a FitBit to track your activity and receive coaching.
