Finding the right medication regimen to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex healthcare challenge. Wearable health trackers provide physicians with a detailed window into patients' symptoms, but translating this complex data into useful treatment insights can be difficult. New research accomplishes just that. Researchers found that combining wearable health tracker data with state-of-the-art algorithms results in promising treatment strategies that could improve PD patients' outcomes.
Data from wearable health trackers uncover treatment strategies that otherwise might have gone underutilized.
The model finds that with a recommended medication strategy using data from wearable sensors, patients could spend almost twice as long each day with well-managed symptoms. “Our model identified a Parkinson’s disease medication strategy: Frequent dosing of a slow-release medication formulation that would benefit almost all patients,” says Matt Baucum of Florida State University, one of the study authors.
The paper, “Optimizing Patient-Specific Medication Regimen Policies Using Wearable Sensors in Parkinson’s Disease,” suggests the resulting models can offer novel clinical insights and medication strategies that can potentially democratize access to improved care.

New insights into the development of Parkinson's disease in the brainResearchers have identified a new pathological mechanism for a familial type of Parkinson's disease caused by a mutation in the CHCHD2 gene. Mutant CHCHD2 protein is mislocalized in cells and leads to alpha-synuclein protein aggregates via interactions with another protein, known as Csnk1e/d. These findings indicate that Csnk1e/d inhibition may slow or halt Parkinson's disease development in patients with CHCHD2 mutations, providing new hope for affected families.
