Finding the right medication regimen to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex health care 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.
accomplishes just that. Researchers have found that combining wearable health tracker data with state-of-the-art algorithms results in promising"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"Our research suggests that combining rich data from wearable health trackers with the pattern-discovery capabilities of machine learning can uncover treatment strategies that otherwise might have gone underutilized," says Anahita Khojandi, study co-author from the University of Tennessee,...
"The algorithms we developed can even be used to predict patients who might benefit from more advanced PD therapies, which really highlights their ability to extract the maximum value from wearable data." Baucum and Khojandi, alongside fellow authors Dr. Rama Vasudevan of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Dr. Ritesh Ramdhani a neurologist at Hofstra/ Northwell, emphasize that this work is groundbreaking for PD patients who may experience improved symptom control through continuous sensor monitoring and a novel AI approach.
"The results of this research offer the potential to revolutionize the care of PD patients by harnessing the power of AI to inform and enhance treatment decisions for a disease whose symptoms are frequently changing," says Ritesh Ramdhani.Matt Baucum et al, Optimizing Patient-Specific Medication Regimen Policies Using Wearable Sensors in Parkinson's Disease,

New insights into the development of Parkinson's disease in the brain might open the doors to new therapiesParkinson's disease, characterized by various motor dysfunctions, is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world. It is known that specific gene mutations that are passed down through families are responsible for some cases of Parkinson's disease. But now, researchers from Japan have found that this might open the doors to new therapies.
