Caption

The smartwatch system is based on sensors that can capture changes in movement patterns and tremors, which can help clinicians tailor treatments such as medications and lifestyle changes. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 3, 2021, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by R. Powers at Apple Inc. in Cupertino, CA; and colleagues was titled, "Smartwatch inertial sensors continuously monitor real-world motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease."
