Evaluation of the Personal KinetiGraph™ (PKG™) to Improve Insight Into Parkinson's Disease Status (NCT03741920)

Evaluation of the Personal KinetiGraph™ (PKG™) to Improve Insight Into Parkinson's Disease Status (APPRISE)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ⚙️ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Global Kinetics Corporation

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The primary objective is to understand the utility of Personal KinetiGraph movement recording system data in the clinical management of Parkinson's disease (PD) in routine clinical care at a movement disorders clinic. Specifically: 1. Measure medication use and clinical management plan changes in a large, multicenter cohort among participants undergoing a clinical assessment with an MDS in which the MDS reviews the participant's PKG during the clinical assessment in half of the enrolled participants (PKG + Group) and in half of the enrolled participants the MDS completes the clinical assessment without the PKG (PKG- Group). 2. Determine the association between frequency of medication changes, the PKG information, and other clinical assessments among participants with and without a PKG report of their PD motor status available to the clinician at the time of evaluation.
