I work in clinical research and am the sole caregiver for my mom with Parkinson’s. We are getting ready to open a trial for a non-invasive neuromodulation device. This study will use tests like the finger tapping and walking with the smartphone to collect data. I think it’s really interesting and eliminates the opinion of the rater. Should provide more consistent data.
