Abstract

IntroductionIn the advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD), motor complications such as wearing-off and dyskinesia are problematic and vary daily. These symptoms need to be monitored precisely to provide adequate care for patients with advanced PD.MethodsThis study used wearable devices to explore biomarkers for motor complications by measuring multiple biomarkers in patients with PD residing in facilities and combining them with lifestyle and clinical assessments. Data on the pulse rate and activity index (metabolic equivalents) were collected from 12 patients over 30 days.ResultsThe pulse rate and activity index during the off- and on-periods and dyskinesia were analyzed for two participants; the pulse rate and activity index did not show any particular trend in each participant; however, the pulse rate/activity index was significantly greater in the off-state compared to that in the dyskinesia and on-states, and this index in the dyskinesia state was significantly greater than that in the on-state in both participants.ConclusionThese results suggest the pulse rate and activity index combination would be a useful indicator of wearing-off and dyskinesia and that biometric information from wearable devices may function as a digital diary. Accumulating more cases and collecting additional data are necessary to verify our findings.
