Figure Lengend Snippet: Clinical relevance of digital measures at baseline. Correlations between clinical assessments and Actigraphy (A and B) and iPad trial (C and D) assessments. A) Actigraphy-measured daytime sleep positively correlates with Epworth Sleepiness Scale score. B) Physical activity correlates with improvement on MDS-UPDRS Part II. C) Better scores of SWM correlate with lower ADAS-Cog 13 . D) Better scores of DSST correlate with lower ADAS-Cog 13 . ADAS-Cog 13 , Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale –Cognitive 13-Item Scale; DSST, digital symbol substitution; MDS, Movement Disorder Society–owned rating scales; SWM, spatial working memory; UPDRS, Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale.
Article Snippet: The actigraphy device (AX3-axivity device: https://axivity.com/product/ax3 ), uses an accelerometer to measure activity and, similar to a watch, was placed on the non-dominant wrist of eligible participants (US-based and English-speaking) at specified visits for a 2-week period until the subsequent clinic visits to allow continuous tracking of sleep and activity during these periods.
Techniques: Activity Assay
