Neurological disorders are complex and multifaceted, with symptoms that can vary widely. Wearable sensors and digital health technologies enable objective collection of data at the patients' home, providing unprecedented ways for tracking diseases.

This session will include presentations from several NIH-funded and Investigator-initiated studies focused on collecting digital measures of disease progression, including in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer’s and ALS, and their potential impact on clinical trials and care for individuals with neurological disorders.

Learning Objectives

Demonstrate innovative wearable sensors and digital technologies capable of accurately detecting and monitoring neurological disease symptoms; Identify methods for seamlessly integrating wearable sensors with existing healthcare systems to ensure continuity of care.
