Wearable devices collect continuous digital data remotely and passively, thus improving patient-centricity and reducing trial burden on patients.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Despite being one of the most active areas of clinical development, neurological disease drug trials have among the longest development timelines and highest failure rates in the industry. Imprecision in both disease diagnosis and symptom monitoring presents additional hurdles for clinical development.

Digital clinical measures enabled by wearables have great potential to transform and accelerate drug development in neuroscience. Digital assessments of function, as quantified from smart sensor data, can provide frequent, objective and precise measures of how patients function in their real lives. In particular, wearable devices collect continuous digital data remotely and passively, thus improving patient-centricity and reducing trial burden on patients.

Join Jamie Adams, Assistant Professor and Director, Movement Disorders Fellowship, Department of Neurology & Center for Health + Technology, University of Rochester; Christine Guo, Chief Scientific Officer, ActiGraph; and Ruben van Eijk, Assistant Professor, University Medical Center Utrecht, Department of Neurology, for a live webinar on Monday, October 4, 2021 at 12pm EST (5pm BST/UK) in which they will discuss recent research and findings on the use of wearable sensors and connected digital technologies in neurology.
