Using a smartwatch to help detect the progression of Parkinson’s disease

In their paper published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the group describes a pilot trial of an app created for the Apple smartwatch and an informal experiment with 225 Parkinson’s patients using the smartwatch and app for six months.
