摘要

People with Parkinson’s disease (PWP) face significant gaps in care. Limited neurologist access, infrequent clinic visits, and inadequate symptom measurement culminate in suboptimal therapy and high morbidity. Quantitative Digitography (QDG) provides validated, digital metrics of the three cardinal motor signs in Parkinson’s disease (PD) in real-time from 30 seconds of a mobility task on a digitography device and can be used remotely or in clinical settings. This study demonstrates the feasibility and clinical relevance of 30-day remote QDG monitoring. Participants showed excellent compliance and found the system easy to use. The QDG Mobility Score demonstrated meaningful correlation with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), captured motor complexities across a broad PD duration, and tracked motor changes from small therapy adjustments. QDG offers providers and PWP an accessible, objective, and real-time tool to remotely monitor motor symptoms, optimize treatment, and address care gaps created by infrequent clinic visits and subjective symptom assessment.
