Remote Monitoring in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, an Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementia
Massachusetts General Hospital
Summary
This is a single-arm, longitudinal, observational study on the use of wearable sensors and digital health technology to measure fall frequency and motor, speech, and cognitive function in patients with PSP over the course of approximately one year. Participants will perform supervised remote assessments monthly and in-person assessments approximately every 6 months.
Description
The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of using wearable sensors and digital health technology to remotely monitor patients with possible or probable PSP. Secondary objectives are to measure PSP progression using sensor-derived motor and tablet-derived speech and cognitive measures. In brief, approximately 85 individuals with possible or probable PSP, probable Parkinson's disease, possible or probable Multiple System Atrophy, and healthy controls, will be enrolled at 4-5 sites in the U.S. and followed for one year. During the monitoring period for PSP and MSA par…
