Study summary

The objective is to clinically assess the Kinesia HomeView system for automated and remote monitoring of Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms.

Read the detailed description

Currently, there is limited access to movement disorder specialist centers for a significant portion of the PD population. Treatment effectiveness is judged during office visits by improvement of patient motor symptoms and quality of life. Clinicians evaluate patients by having them perform specific motor tasks and rating the severity on a 0-4 scale. A major limitation is that a single evaluation in a clinical setting may not accurately reflect motor symptom fluctuations experienced over the course of a day, week, or month. Clinicians currently lack effective, affordable medical devices that can be easily delivered to a patient's home for monitoring symptoms on a more continuous basis as motor symptoms typically change throughout the day. Kinesia HomeView provides a repeatable, automated system clinicians can use to remotely monitor PD motor symptoms on a more continuous basis in a patient's home. The investigators hypothesize use of the Kinesia HomeView system will improve outcomes and decrease costs especially for patient populations in areas not in close proximity to movement disorder specialists.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    KHV reporting

    Clinicians will view the motor symptom severity reports and videoconference to titrate medications.

    Device: KHV reporting · Procedure: Standard care

  • Active comparator
    Standard care

    Subjects in this group will still use KHV at home to minimize any placebo effects that could be attributed to using the system; however, clinicians will view the motor symptom severity reports and videoconference to titrate medications solely for the experimental subjects.

    Procedure: Standard care

Interventions

  • DeviceKHV reporting

    Clinicians will view the KHV motor symptom severity reports and use KHV to videoconference with subjects to titrate medications.

    Also known as: Kinesia HomeView

  • ProcedureStandard care

    Subjects will receive the same disease management as if they were not participating in this study.
