Developing Personalized Medicine Strategies to Increase Physical Activity in Parkinson's Disease (PD) Through Digital Health Technology
Abstract
Increasing physical activity levels in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is a major unmet need. Objectives are to investigate whether: 1) Protocols using gamification to increase physical activity in patients with PD employing remote intervention and assessment will be feasible and acceptable to participants; 2) Individual NMS will predict responsiveness to a gamification intervention targeting physical activity levels facilitating a personalized approach in future efficacy studies; 3) Changes in physical activity will be associated with changes in motor symptoms, measured using the wearable Parkinson's Kinetograph (PKG). This is a prospective observational study. Using administrative databases and review of medical records, we will identify and remotely enroll 85 Veterans with PD on stable medication regimens into a protocol. Personalized strategies using digital health technology to increase physical activity will be highly scalable, improving the symptoms and lives of countless people living with PD.
