Objective, Passive Assessment of LRRK2 Carriers

Completed
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Registration Number
NCT05287620
Lead Sponsor
University of Rochester
Brief Summary

The goal of this project is to identify objective, sensitive, and convenient measures for assessing early signs of Parkinson's disease in an at-risk population at home. We will do so by using a wireless sensor and analyzing the radio signals that bounce off patients' bodies, while patients go about their normal life without needing to wear sensors, answer questionnaires, or actively perform any tests.
